"The classic traditional method combination of pinot noir and chardonnay delivers a dry and toasty scintillant in the Redstone Sparkling. The warm and dreamy vintage brings the sunshine ripeness so even though this is a fizz of pulse, energy and high tonality it's well-grounded by creamy pear and white peach fruit. For the price it's both up there with the best that Ontario can offer but also a perfectly suitable Champagne alternative for a fraction of the cost. I'd even go so far as to say it's positioned near the top of méthode Champenoise examples found anywhere in the world."

Château Des Charmes
Canada (Canada), Niagara (Canada), Ontario (Canada)
12 x 750 ml
“… terrific value; stock up. It offers a lively nose of baking brioche and lemon-lime aromas. A profusion of fine-bead bubbles make a substantial mousse when poured and continue in endless thin streams making their way to the top of your glass. Almost off-dry flavours of apple and pear on the palate are joined by a bracing line of lemon curd and Key lime persisting through the mouth-watering finish—clean, crisp and refreshing.”

"This value-laden, vintage-dated, Méthode Traditionnelle, salmon-hued, 100% pinot noir with its 12 months of lees contact will transport you to a strawberry field on a hot summer day. A lovely pink-ish mousse rises up the glass along with fine-bead bubbles releasing aromas of fresh ripe strawberry, cranberry and yeasty-brioche notes. There’s a surge of pie cherry and rhubarb flavours and a cinnamon tinge leading to a mouth-watering medium-length lip-smacking, refreshing finish. This will please all brut sparkling lovers especially when paired with salted nuts or pan-seared rainbow trout."

Flat Rock Cellars' Gravity is designed to showcase the "best of the best" in the estate's Twenty Mile Bench vineyard and cellar. That means careful selection of the best parcels of Pinot Noir vines, vinified separately and then the best is chosen from individual barrels. The nose shows generous cran-cherry fruit with a subtle note of earthy goodness and oak spice. It's pure and delicious on the palate with bright red fruits, ripe tannins, vibrant acidity and good length through the finish.
"Truly benchmark Niagara Pinot Noir! I've long been a fan of Flat Rock's Pinot Noirs, especially the Gravity. Aromas of ripe cherry. Vibrant racy acidity. The winery uses the gentlest methods to press the grapes and make the wine via a gravity flow system rather than pumping (thus the name gravity on the label). Then the wine was aged in French oak barrels for 18 months. Medium ruby hue with cherry accents, polished tannins, silky smooth texture and medium bodied weight. Gorgeous cherry-berry aromas and flavours on the mid-palate. Then it finishes with wisps of black raspberry and vanilla toast. This red wine is so vivacious and so fantastically great year after year. Pair with roast or grilled chicken."

"Fresh red and dark cherries are framed in aromas of fine-ground baking spice here. The palate has a very smooth, refined feel with long, silky tannins, swirling around a core of fresh, red-cherry and berry flavor. Their finest release under this estate label. Drink or hold."

Bellavista Wine
Italy (Italy), Lombardy (Italy)
6 x 750 ml
Breads, Pasta, Soft Cheese
White foam, exuberant and of excellent persistence. Very fine pearl necklaces to form a well-present and prolonged crown. Effervescence is dynamic and full of youth. Bright and bright yellow color with evident greenish reflections. Bouquet characterized by a marked minerality. Wide and inviting, it embraces nuances of ripe sweet fruit, meringue, pastry and candied citrus peel. Taste fully corresponding to the nose, with an almost crunchy creamy sensation and a texture that combines elegance and lightness, thickness and harmony. The vibrant and contemporary character represents its unmistakable identity. A character that is sustained, without any compromise, by a freshness that maintains its classicism for a long time, announcing its promise of longevity.
"Pretty aromas of bread dough, lemon and cooked apple. Fresh. Medium to full body, tangy acidity and a fruity finish. Always an outstanding sparkling wine. Drink now."

"A fine, mouthwatering version, featuring a pleasant vibrancy throughout, while a delicate, satiny texture carries flavors of poached quince, salted almond and Meyer lemon peel. Long and elegant, with details of elderflower, star anise and chalk lacing the finish."
93 points - Wine Spectator, Dec 2019
"The rich fig and red apple friuts of Cumières meunier create a compelling contrast with crisp malic acidity and tight grapefruit and lemon zest notes. Three years on lees makes for a generous maturity for an entry cuvée, reinforcing honey and fruit cake spice and a creamy texture."
93 points - Tyson Stelzer, The Champagne Guide 2016-2017
"The NV Brut Expression is floral, racy and explosive. Apricot, yellow flowers, mint and butter are all generous in the glass. Vinous and creamy, with tons of richness, the Expression has so much to offer. Tropical overtones add to a real sense of exoticism, and yet there is plenty of freshness and cut as well."

6 x 750 ml
Cured Meat, Duck breast, Foie gras, Ham, Soft Cheese
This ripe and creamy wine offers a good depth of flavor. It has plenty of fresh apple flavors, although the dominant fruits are riper, richer and tangy with orange zest and apricots. To balance all this fruit, the texture is tight with a good streak of minerality to give a crisp aftertaste.
