Devin's Picks


Punch In The Face Shiraz  South Australia

Tasting Notes: Once you realize that dry January is fruitless, try Punch In The Face Shiraz. Just as the name suggests, this little baby's alcohol content alone (a wopping 14.9%) will set you straight after your alcohol hiatus. Opens with notes of blackberry tart, plum preserves and blueberry compote with underlying Chinese five spice and black pepper. Full-bodied with mouth-filling black fruit, hints of cocoa and spice. Medium level of velvety tannins and lively acid. It finishes with very good length.

Price: $22.99

Plantation Canerock Rum  Jamaica

Tasting Notes: This smells so amazing. Lots of caramel and vanilla on the nose. The taste is very balanced. Not too spicy so as to over-power it, not too sweet, I could sip this neat all night long. So good!

Price: $62.99

Alkoomi Late Harvest Riesling  Australia

Tasting Notes: Alkoomi Late Harvest is a selection of late-harvested grapes (predominantly Riesling), which offer a balance between sweet fruit and zesty acidity. There's loads of candied citrus, pineapple and peach, with some honeysuckle and caramel in there as well. Very charming! Pairs well with toasted marshmallows around a bonefire.

Price: $20.99

Trivento Golden Reserve Malbec  Argentina

Tasting Notes: Celebrate August's non denominational holiday with this less than ordinary wine. Trivento Golden Reserve Malbec is fresh and fragrant with a nose of lavender, balsamic, plums, thyme, black pepper, and sweet black cherries. Nice crunchy graphite texture, with a lovely core of fruit concentration supported by lively acidity. Smart and delicious.

Price: $27.99

Zenato Sergio Lugana Riserva 2019  Italy

Tasting Notes: If you are looking for a great wine to pair with your Valentine's Day dinner this year, try this beautiful wine. Brilliant gold in color, Sergio Zenato Riserva Lugana offers an intense yet elegant floral bouquet. Beautifully layered on the palate, this wine tantalizes the senses with notes of stone fruit, vanilla and white flowers. Pair this wine with rotisserie chicken, veal scallopini, calamari, and scampi.

Devin's Picks


Batasiolo Barbera D'alba  Italy

Tasting Notes: After the holidays, everyone's bank account can be quite drained. But you don't need to break the bank to buy good wine. Batasiolo Barbera D'alba is a great wine at a great price.This is my go-to for pasta night. Smells like all the fruits rolled in fresh earth. The palate has a light feel to it, but the fruit core is concentrated yet balanced by natural acidity.

Price: $13.99

 

Devin's Picks


Bumbu Cream Rum  Panama

Tasting Notes: Picture it: It's a frigid morning after the first snow fall. You barely want to get out from under your warm blankets. You know what this day needs; Bailey's in your coffee. However if you want to break away from tradition, give Bumbu Cream Rum a try. Goes great in your favourite coffee or tea, or try it chilled on its own. With notes chai, coconut, and cinnamon, this cream liqueur is sure to wake you up in the morning. The palate is a perfect combination of sweetness, spice, and cream. It's a great excuse to get out of bed come colder weather ;)

Price: $51.99
