German Riesling – Clean, crisp, and slightly fruity, this wine is full of fruit flavour with an intense and pleasing aroma. You will want to savour through to the last sip. Works well with Thai and Chinese take-out, pork tenderloin and light seafood fare.

Ontario Sauvignon Blanc – Straw in colour with a refreshing grassy nose; bold herbal tones and fresh citrus flavours on the palate. This wine is as delightful as a cool Ontario Fall day, its finish both long and fruity. Great with mild Asian food including white fish or sushi.

Chilean Malbec – Warm spice notes and aromas and flavours of ripe blackberry and blackcurrant. Chile is well known for these chewy, deep, rustic red wines with intense cherry flavours and blended oak undertones. Fermenting your wine on GenuWine Winery Dried Grape Skins will add deep hues, enhance the bouquet, and promote chewy tannins for a lingering finish. Enjoy with chicken drumsticks and Asian BBQ sauce or Mexican fajitas.

And our limited edition (Reg. $159.99 / Now $149.99)

Ontario Cabernet Franc – Embodying a style classic to the Niagara winemaking region, this ruby-red wine is an unforgettable experience. Luxurious, food-friendly acidic flavours of cherries, blackberries and plums combined with toasty nutmeg and vanilla spices, bring this medium-bodied wine to life. On the palate, it unveils a round mouth feel with the bold tannins from the Genuwine Winery Dried Grapeskins for a remarkably supported finish. The rich aromas and robust complexity of this elegant Cabernet Franc compliments the flavours of a hearty Grilled Alberta Steak with Roasted Red Peppers, Cedar-Plank Salmon, or Classic Canadian Wood-Oven Pizza.

Cru Select Platinum Series Premium Kits (Reg. $164.99 – $169.99 / Now $154.99 – $159.99)

Italian Pinot Grigio – Made in an Italian style, the bouquet reveals bright citrus and green apple aromas with honeydew tones; an exquisite balance of citrus and acidity. Excellent with light seafood dishes such as garlic and lemon shrimp or fresh crab salad. Includes 30 labels & capsules.

Australian Cabernet Sauvignon – Soft yet fruity, this Australian style Cabernet shows more complex varietal fruit flavours, including cherry and blackberry than its Old World counterpart. Great with roasted duck or beef and veggie stirfry.

Also, don’t forget some of the amazing wines that will be available to you starting in January.
