January Specials and the first 2 Restricted Quantity wines of the new year!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
This year has got to be better than the last two. I know the only things keeping me sane are family, friends, and (let’s face it) great WINE! To help you get through the upcoming colder months, the following wines are on sale for up to $20 off their regular price.
Cru International Premium Kits (Reg. $144.99 – $149.99 / Now $134.99 – $139.99)
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.
German Müller Thurgau – Made from a quintessential German white grape variety, this wine features subtle fruit notes and a mild acidity. Its long and lasting finish will leave you wanting more. Try with German asparagus casserole or light vegetable dishes.
Australian Cabernet Sauvignon – A classic Cabernet Sauvignon with a nose of blackcurrants, dark chocolate and subtle toasty notes with hints of coffee and vanilla notes on the palate. Fermenting your wine on GenuWine Winery Dried Grape Skins will add deep hues, enhance the bouquet, and promote chewy tannins for a lingering finish. Pairs well with meatloaf and mashed potatoes or prime rib au jus.
Cru Select Platinum Ultra Premium (Reg. $164.99 – $169.99 / Now $154.99 – $159.99)
Australian Shiraz – Deep and dark in colour with a rich bouquet of fruit and a hint of cassis, this is the Shiraz that put Australian wines on the map. Ideal with spicy chili con carne or burgers with grilled onions and gouda cheese.
EN Primeur Winery Series Ultra Premium (Reg. $179.99 – Now $167.99)
Italian Pinot Grigio – Opens with citrus, floral and pear notes. Hints of citrus and green apple on the finish. The palate is elevated with its perfect harmony of fruit and crisp acidity. Tastes great with grilled halibut, buttery shrimp, or a light crab salad.
Also, the first 2 RQ (Restricted Quantity) wines should be arriving with our order early in the new year. Those who have made their pre-orders will be contacted by phone. For everyone else, it will be first come, first served. Don’t delay as we ran out last year on a few of them. They are as follows;
LA CUECA – Chilean Sauvignon Blanc (MSRP $210.00 Sale Price $189.99)
A true national treasure, this wildly romantic and flirty performance is enhanced by the beguiling use of the kerchief. Its unique balance enchants and captures the essence of La Cueca’s Sauvignon Blanc. Ardent, yet shy, La Cueca is beautifully characterized by flavours of peach, stone fruit, and honeysuckle, a pale straw colour, and a fetching medium body. La Cueca is sure to disarm and charm the senses in the most delightful way -¡Olé!
This dry, medium-bodied wine hints of deep red fruit – plum and currant aromas. Heady spices, earth, and smoke linger with a moderate tannic finish.

EL TANGO – Agentinian Malbec Bonarda Syrah (MSRP $220.00 Sale Price $199.99)
It takes two to tango – or in this case three! Malbec Bonarda Syrah makes its debut performance in El Tango. Originating in Buenos Aires, it’s a mixture of light-spirited flamenco, fast, sensual Argentine milonga, and Cuban habanera dances – the ideal blend to represent this bold, juicy and exotic, easy-drinking wine. Delight in the deep crimson bloom of El Tango’s performance; an intensity and aroma matched only by the rich, fragrant beauty of the red rose -¡Olé!
The dry, medium-body boasts intense aromas of red currants, black raspberries, hints of oak, and pepper spice, with rounded tannins and a toasted vanilla finish.
