2017 Moon Curser Vineyards Arneis | Okanagan Valley, BC $40

Arneis (literally: little rascal, in Piemontese) is a white grape variety originating from the Piedmont region of Italy, and Moon Curser is the lone producer of this classic NW Italian grape. The nose displays hints of ripe pear, citrus and white flowers, followed by notes of green plum and lemon on the palate with stone-fruited viscosity and a pungent mineral tow.

Perfect Pairing: Baked Cheese Grits, Grilled Rainbow Trout
2017 Fielding Estate Winery Pinot Grigio | Niagara, ON $40

Fresh, vibrant, and eminently quaffable, this Pinot Grigio features aromas of lemon zest, lime, grapefruit, and green apple. The citrus fruit notes are abundant on the palate, which is light, fresh and incredibly easy drinking, with a crisp and refreshing finish thanks to racy, palate cleansing acidity.

Perfect Pairing: Vegetable Fritters, Pulled Pork Cigars
2018 Bench 1775 Estate Sauvignon Blanc | Okanagan Valley, BC $40

There is no better time of year to enjoy Sauvignon Blanc than the long days of our Canadian summer. This wine showcases richness and balance with 15% of the juice fermented and barrel aged in new French Oak, and the remaining 85% in stainless steel. Full bodied and expressive, veering more toward the tropical fruit side of the flavor spectrum whilst maintaining the characteristic herbaceous quality unique to the varietal.

Perfect Pairing: Summer Salad, Grilled Rainbow Trout

Red

2017 Okanagan Crush Pad Haywire Gamay Noir | Okanagan Valley, BC $40

Supple and sweetly fruited with a softness to the texture, but also some spicy detail. Very fresh and expressive, with a nice sappy twist to the fruit. With a cherry pit and almond edge to the fruit, it is pure and fine with lovely structure, and layered complexity. This Gamay is evocative of a fresh basket of Okanagan cherries, and is best served slightly chilled.

Perfect Pairing: Smoked Grilled Vegetable Platter, Bison Burger
2016 Quails Gate Old Vines Foch | Okanagan Valley, BC $40

This cult classic from Quails Gate is 100% Maréchal Foch varietal grown in Osoyoos. Three weeks on skins maximizes colour, with fermentation in neutral French and American oak barrels for added complexity. Intense with aromas of ripe cherry, plum, vanilla, coffee, smoky meat, tobacco, and earth. A bright, juicy palate with flavours of cranberry, damson, and dark fruit that leads to a long finish.

Perfect Pairing: Slow Cooked Alberta Beef Brisket Sandwich, Wilderness Platter
2016 Sunrock Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon | Okanagan Valley, BC $40

Life is a Cabernet! From the northern tip of the Sonoran Desert AKA the Osoyoos Lake Bench, this Cabernet Sauvignon offers luscious cassis and dark cherry aromas which accentuate delicate hints of cigar box, dark chocolate, and vanilla smoke. Taste winemaker Dave Carson’s indisputable pedigree, having previously served at Jackson-Triggs, See Ya Later Ranch, Sumac Ridge and Inniskillin.

Perfect Pairing: House Smoked Meats, Wilderness Platter
