Alison's Pick   (Canada)

Pillitteri Carretto Gerwurztraminer Riesling 2024

Tasting Notes: Hailing from Niagara Peninsula in Ontario, this Gewürztraminer Riesling Fusion is highly aromatic with green apple, lychee, pink grapefruit and rose petal characters. The palate follows nose, with the addition of honey, ripe peach, tangerine and subtle undertones of honeydew melon. This wine is a great summer patio sipper, but consider foods higher in chili-driven spice, like Pad Thai and Indian Madras curry or Butter Chicken Samosas and lean, flaky fish like pan seared wild striped bass. This wine also pairs well with comfort foods like chicken wings, pot pie and BLT sandwiches. Delicious choice!

Price: $18.99

Harry's Pick   (Canada)

Banff Whisky 45% Alc

Tasting Notes: Banff Whisky is a blend of three distinct whiskies made from 100% local Alberta rye aged in new American oak . The five year whisky on the front end adds black currant, candied ginger, and sweet baking spices. The six year on the mid palate contributes cinnamon shortbread and toffee. The seven year whisky on the finish lends rich vanilla and cigar box. These flavors will linger on the palate well after the last sip. The art of the blend is to balance these three distinctly different profiles, resulting in a delicious, layered, and complex whisky.

Price: $65.99

DeWayne's Pick   (FRANCE)

ASTRAL de CHATEAU PUYBARBE

Tasting Notes: The 2020 Astral de Château Puybarbe is a highly praised Bordeaux red blend from the Côtes de Bourg appellation. Crafted by Anna and Riku Väänänen at their Biocyclic Vegan-certified and sustainably farmed estate. Opens with rich, ripe aromas of black cherry, plum, and cassis, complemented by secondary notes of tobacco leaf, subtle mint, and toasted oak. Full-bodied and structured yet well-balanced. It coats the tongue with dense, blackcurrant flavors supported by velvety tannins and a bright, juicy finish. 78% Merlot with 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, with a touch of Malbec and Cab Franc. Drink now and can be cellared for several years.

Alison's Pick   (United Kingdom)

Tanqueray Rangpur Lime Gin

Tasting Notes: There is a disctinctly exotic profile to this gin. Bold aromas of lime, juniper, lemon peel and ginger greet you on the nose; the palate is dry and bold with flavours of fresh limes, lemongrass, mandarin and bay leaf followed by subtle heat on the finish. The Rangpur lime is in fact more of a hybrid mandarin orange and citron. Intensely sour and highly acidic, it combines the sharp, tangy bite of a lemon or lime with the aromatic, floral, and slightly smoky notes of a mandarin. If a icy cold Gin & Tonic is your go to summer sipper, give this bracing and aromatic gin a try with a decent tonic. Refreshing and thirst quenching, it's a winner every time.

Price: $35.99

Ogier Ventoux 2022 14%abv.

Tasting Notes: Founded in 1859, Ogier is one of the great names of Châteauneuf du Pape, and has contributed to the fame of the appellation for generations. The Ventoux is a typical Rhone style blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre. Color is a beautiful ruby red. Aromas of earth, plum, blackberry, candlewax. Medium full body; chokecherry cordial, red plums, soft tannins, all in a smooth package. A very engaging red! Pair with grilled sausages, burgers, savory casseroles. Drink now-2030.
