Great question! In the world of wine, “vintage” refers to the year the grapes were harvested. It’s important because each year’s weather and growing conditions shape the wine’s flavour. A good vintage means ideal conditions, while a tougher one can add extra character and complexity. Some wines also get better with age–especially top vintages–so when you’re picking a bottle, take a look at the year. It could mean the difference between a wine that’s ready to enjoy now or one that needs a bit more time. Cheers to the story behind every sip!

This week, we’re uncorking the bold 2020 Merlot from –a true champion of its terroir. With a rich, multi-layered profile of blueberry compote, plum and blackberry, this Merlot reveals secondary notes of sweet to***co, chocolate and cedar from two years in French oak. On the palate, expect complex flavours of semi-sweet chocolate, white pepper and liquorice, all balanced by chalky tannins and a smooth, lingering finish.

Pair it with hearty dishes like tortellini with sausage, or for a vegetarian option, roasted cauliflower pasta with toasted walnuts.

Whether you sip it now or let it age for 6-12 months–or even 15-18 years–this powerful Merlot maintains its bold, unforgettable taste. Grab your bottle and sip into something special this Sunday.

Yes! Wine tasting has its own little art, known as the 5 S’s. Here’s a quick guide to help you taste like a pro:

- See: Start by admiring the colour and clarity. Tilt the glass and take in the hues–they’ll hint at the wine’s age and grape variety.

- Swirl: Give it a gentle swirl. This releases aromas, letting oxygen bring out the wine’s full profile.

- Smell: Take a deep breath! Scent is everything in wine tasting. Notice the layers of aroma, from fruits and flowers to spices.

- Sip: Take a small sip and let it coat your palate. Notice the flavours, texture and balance. Is it earthy, fruity, or spicy? Bold or delicate?

- Savour: Enjoy the finish. A great wine will leave lingering flavours you’ll want to remember.

Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or just looking to enjoy a nice glass, here’s what to keep in mind when shopping for your next bottle:

- Look at the Label: Labels give you the scoop–everything from the region and vineyard to the grape variety and winemaker’s touch.

- Consider Food Pairings: Planning to have it with dinner? Check if it complements the flavours you’re cooking up!

- Check the Vintage: The year matters! Some years bring better wines than others depending on the weather and conditions, so don’t be afraid to ask!

Happy sipping!

Say hello to a rare gem from Niagara! The 2021 Viognier brings together creamy textures and refreshing zest, all elevated through aging in acacia wood barrels–a unique choice that highlights Viognier’s naturally bright aromas. On the nose, you’ll catch notes of citrus, crisp apple and white peach with hints of almond and white flowers. The palate? Think buttered citrus, poached apple, honeysuckle and a hint of spice. Perfectly balanced and richly textured, this Viognier pairs beautifully with a fresh seafood pasta or roasted chicken. Ready to indulge in something special? Cheers to Niagara’s finest!
