Lawsons Dry Hills Sauvignon Blanc  New Zealand

Tasting Notes: In celebration of DRY JANUARY - here's a delicious DRY WHITE WINE to enjoy with leaner January fare! This Sauvignon Blanc is bursting with lemon, passionfruit and ripe tropical fruit, tied together with layers of fresh, green, herbaceous characters. The palate has lovely fruit concentration, balanced acidity and a gentle, dry finish.

Price: $22.99

Novellum Chardonnay  France

Tasting Notes: A very aromatic Chardonnay with discerning notes of sliced green apples, melon and lemon zest. Round and textured, with simple apple pith and nectarines in the pristine yet flavorful palate. Lots of fruit in the round, medium- to full-bodied palate. Pairs well with French bread smeared with roasted garlic clove and Cambozola cheese!

Price: $22.99

Armagnac Castarede XO  France

Tasting Notes: Composed of Armagnacs 100% Folle Blanche from the estate's vineyard, located in Bas- Armagnac, this grape variety produces fine and often floral eau-de-vie with great elegance. Rich and nutty nose with dried stone fruit. Hints of marzipan. Delicate but complex with a little oiliness and a hint of dark cocoa. Aged for 20 years in oak. A lovely sipper on a chilly November night.

Price: $114.99

Pere Magloire Fine VS Calvados  France

Tasting Notes: Perfect for early fall weather! This is a fruity and fresh Calvados bursting with apple flavours. It is distinguished by a simple continuous distillation in a copper still which allows the apple aromas to be concentrated. They are accentuated by the blending of the fruitiest vintages and aging in century-old oak barrels. Delicious after dinner or sipped in the afternoon with some cheese.

Price: $46.99

Grof Degenfeld Organic Furmint 2021  Hungary

Tasting Notes: If you're looking to expand your white wine repertoire, give Hungarian Furmints a try! This refreshing Tokaji dry white wine has a typical Furmint nose, with zesty aromas of green fruits, especially apples, wet stones, and a touch of lemon. We recently had the pleasure of staying at this family owned estate near Mad, Hungary and enjoyed a fabuous wine paired dinner and excellent accommodations. These zesty white wines are a perfect choice for fish, salad type summer meals and also as aperitif offerings at a gathering.

Price: $19.49

Hetszolo Tokaji Aszu 5 Puttonyos 2010  Hungary

Tasting Notes: Tokaji wines are unique and special. The palate on this is well-balanced with a zesty opening, plenty of Clementine, peach and apricot notes. The acidity is very racy (12.5 grams per liter), that neatly balanced the 152 grams per liter residual sugar. Vibrant and very focused, this could be one of the best Aszu wines in what was a difficult vintage. Enjoy with something equally as sweet, or with a foie gras as a decadent appetizer!

Price: $63.99

Blue Giovello Prosecco  Italy

Tasting Notes: This easy going mellow Prosecco is lovely to sip on any time of the day! Fruity with apple, pear and some herbal notes. The palate is off-dry, simple and fruity but not too sweet. The mousse has a nice texture with lots of bubbles. Don't pour it too fast or it will foam up!

Price: $18.99
