Henry of Pelham Cuvée Catharine Rosé Brut $29.99

A pretty salmon color with lovely persistent mousse. Light enough to enjoy on its own or enjoy with appetizers, dessert and chocolate dipped strawberries. Refreshing Niagara acidity with plenty of fresh field berries, zest, yeast and minerality… 94pts, National Wine Awards 2024
13th Street June’s Chardonnay $19.99
100% Chardonnay
This Chardonnay is rich and bursting with aromas of fresh lemon, cream and golden delicious pear with notes of wildflowers and stoney minerality. On the palate it is dry with refreshing acidity, a rich, creamy texture and flavors of ripe stone fruit, lemon dough, mango and lemon cream, wet clay, chalky and stoney mineral finish…perfectly pairs with raw Oysters.
Megalomaniac “Local Squeeze” Riesling $15.99
100% Riesling / Off Dry / Not what you'd expect.
John Howard Cellars features a selection of premium Ontario-made wines celebrating the diversity and quality of Ontario’s most robust grape varietals. This delightful, off-dry Riesling shows aromas and flavors of quince, citrus and stony minerality. Local Squeeze pairs perfectly with pan-seared scallops.
Cave Spring Cabernet Franc 2021 $19.99
100% Cabernet Franc.
The nose is concentrated, with succulent blackberry, cassis and plum fruit alongside notes of cedar, mineral and spice. The palate is medium-bodied with a seam of ripe yet grippy tannin neatly woven into the wine’s juicy, black currant fruit, all complemented by hints of cigar box.
Megalomaniac “Pompous” Cabernet/Merlot $19.99
We love this wine! 85% Cabernet Franc, 15% Merlot
Aromas of ripe plum, dark berries, smoke and spice. This pompous red blend is full bodied with medium + acidity and nicely balanced fruit…slight smoke on the palate with medium finish. Enjoy with grilled portobello mushrooms or pork.
