LANG VINEYARD VIOGNIER,  NARAMATA, BC

Low yield crops produce this excellent wine.  Pineapple, green apple and lemon aromas lead into this fruit forward crowd pleaser.  Zippy on the finish with lovely floral notes.  Pairs lovely with fish, chicken and spicy foods.

THE NED PINOT GRIGIO, NEW ZEALAND

Soft and rich, this unique Pinot Grigio is loaded with stone fruit and floral aromas.  Tropical fruit flavous and a smooth finish round out this winner.  Try this wine with fresh salads, creamy pasta dishes or just on its own!

FOLONARI PINOT GRIGIO, ITALY

Crisp and dry, this old world style Pinot Grigio pleases all palates.  Zesty citrus flabours and aromas delivered in a medium bodied, well balanced wine.  A nice compliment to soft mild cheeses, lemon roasted chicken and fish.

HARPER’S TRAIL CHARDONNAY, KAMLOOPS, BC

Bursting with aromas of lime and peach, this well balanced wine is a winner.  Lightly oaked with a long finish and good mineral flavours complete this medium bodied Chardonnay.  Try it with a creamy pasta or potato salad and salmon.

19 CRIMES SHIRAZ AND DURIF, AUSTRALIA

Intense aromas of black currant and cherry with spicy tones.  Well structured with lots of body and nice smoky aromas.  Wine goers find this best to open an hour before serving.  Perfect pairing for BBQ fare.

LANG VINEYARDS, MARACHEL FOCH, NARAMATA, BC

50 year old vines product this amazing example of Marachel Foch.  Unoaked and super rich in body.  Aromas of fig, leather and dried fruit alongside blueberries and chocolate.  Lovely to sip alongside Gouda and aged Cheddar, stews and hearty bean dishes.

WILLIAM COLE RESERVE, CHILE

50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 25% Carmenere.  Layers of juicy red fruit delivered in a rich bodied, complex wine.  Mid palate stewed plum and cherry followed by subtle oak and sufficient structure.  Enjoy on its own or pair with rich beef and lamb dishes.

MT. BOUCHERIE GAMAY NOIR, KELOWNA, BC

This medium bodied Gamay Noir is just loaded with up front tart cherry and cranberry aromas and a great smoky profile. Fresh acidity and a peppery finish complete this wine.  Pairs excellent with turkey, salmon, pork chops topped with a fruity compote.
