Masia Perelada Tinto, Castillo Perelada 2008

Deep garnet colour with violet hues. Intense and persistent floral and fruit aromas. Full bodied, dry with firm tannins. The complex and clearly Mediterranean style wine has a friendly, smooth finish.

Sibling Rivalry Red VQA, Henry Of Pelham 2009

Like three good friends out on the town this wine is Merlot + Cab. Franc + Cab. Sauvignon: dark, juicy and delicious. Lots of lush berry flavours. The savoury flavours from oak aging add ambiance, like dinner by the fire in the den or the backyard.

Sibling Rivalry Pink VQA, Henry Of Pelham 2009

The missing link between Red and White or night and day, how could Sibling be without Pink! This final addition to the triumvirate brings Cabernet, Syrah and Gamay to the table in a hardy pink blend around which both men and women can finally unite. Behind its handsome bad boy demeanour is a blend that offers tastes of summer cool and winter heat. Is it a red that drinks like a white, a white that drinks like a red, or just a manly pink wine?

Sibling Rivalry White VQA, Henry Of Pelham 2009

Bright, white and out of sight; the triumvirate of Riesling, Chardonnay and Gewurztraminer. Long names and hard to pronounce, so we call this wine 'White'. Not just another single varietal wine -- why choose one grape when you can have three? Think lime citrus and apple freshness with a dash of lychee fruit, in that order. As someone said at a recent event, "tastes like a sun-vacation".

Carato IGT Toscana, Erik Banti 2008

This silky smooth blend of Tuscan goodness is mostly Sangiovese with some Merlot and a touch of Syrah to round things out. It has a bright red fruit flavors, light tannins and a smooth finish that makes this wine incredibly drinkable. While delicious on its own, like most Italian reds this wine really comes to life with food. We suggest trying it with pasta, lamb or young cheese.

"We reserve a special mention for Erik Banti's Carato 2007, which achieved a score comparable to those obtained by the other Davids even though it costs only $13."

Prosecco (Organic), Villa Teresa N/V

"Fresh with plenty of green apple fruit and pear flavours to counter the rich cream and salmon textures. A fine sipper made with organic fruit."

The Vancouver Sun, Jan 2010

Cru Crede Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Brut DOC (375 ml), Bisol N/V

"Crede is among our favorite Proseccos year after year and the reason we love it so much is because of its sharp mineral focus and generous aromas of peach, honey and citrus. The wine offers balance and harmony with a floral flair and a bright, crisp close. The blend sees 15% Pinot Bianco and Verdiso."
