May spring lead the way…

Apr 29, 2023

Flowers, sunshine and refreshing glasses of wine! Oh my!!

I know I am saying yes please to all “of the above”, even though the sun seems to be in short supply. I do hope you see something on our list of wines on sale this month that will inspire, as this is the perfect time to try something new. Perhaps, a 4-week varietal you haven’t had before. Both reds and whites are ready to drink soon after bottling, and a little bit lighter in body, perfect for summer.

A true gem, the Australian Grenache Rose is a dry, medium bodied rose with strawberry and raspberry notes with a crisp acidy that was born for summer BBQ’s.

It is one of our favourite wines here and is on sale this month for $180.00/batch. I hope the nicer weather finds everyone with a little more spring in their step. 

Here are the bargains this month:

Cheers to April!

Wine bottles gathers at the centre table for cheers!

Happy Spring, folks!!

As we speak, those mountains of plowed snow are shrinking, and I am getting the first sightings of both robins and snowbirds. Welcome back to both.

A note to say that the rise in tax on commercial wine, beer and spirits have absolutely no effect on us here. I sell you juice. No tax on juice. I also sell you our ability to craft wine to your tastes, and you pay the tax on the aid and equipment of the production of that craft wine. A win for us.

I hope you find this month’s specials appealing. Don’t forget we still have plenty of the RQ23 wines left. The last one of the series, Chenin Blanc Chardonnay Viognier is released this month. They would be great to put down now for drinking at Christmas. The price increase did not affect pricing on these wines. Still available for $215.00 a batch. 

Here are my sale varietals for April:

Actually, I don’t know what an Ide is, so I am going to keep going forward.
