WHITE WINE
BASA
Verdejo, Telmo Rodriguez, Spain, 2023
5oz $12 Bottle ($55)
Pale, green-tinged yellow. Fresh citrus fruits, succulent herbs and white flowers on the incisive, mineral-accented nose. Taut and energetic on the palate, offering juicy Meyer lemon and green apple flavours that slowly put on weight with air. Finishes on a repeating mineral note, with very good persistence and lingering fennel and lemon pith qualities.
MELON DE BOURGOGNE
Keint-He, Prince Edward County, 2023
5oz $13 Bottle $60
This wine is straw in colour. The nose shows a hint of mint, with lemon and stone fruit. The palette is crisp, with flavours of pear nectarine and peach.
L’ESCALE
Sauvignon Blanc, Clos Roussely, Loire, France, 2023
5oz $13 Bottle $60
Ripe, fresh and thirst-quenching. Showing notes of ripe stonefruit, gooseberries, nettles, and dried grass with hints of stony minerality.
B-SIDE
Riesling, Charles Baker, Stratus, Niagara, 2023
5oz $14 Bottle $65
Pretty aromatics with apple, lemon, and sage-like herbal notes. Very slight pine and cooked persimmon nose with a very subtle petrol note starting to emerge. Medium bodied with just a kiss of residual sugar that dissolves through the savoury finish. Nicely balanced and very approachable with a pleasant peach and grapefruit aftertaste. An immediately satisfying Riesling that will approach to a broad audience.
COUNTY CHARDONNAY
Morandin, Prince Edward County, 2021
5oz $16 Bottle $75
Lean and slightly salty on the nose with zesty lemon notes. Medium bodied on the palate with good acidic tension.
RED WINE
POGGIO MORINO
Sangiovese Chianti, Italy, 2022
5oz $11 Bottle $50
This 100% Sangiovese is dry with hints of raspberries, cherries and violets. Ruby-red in color, well-balanced acidity and tannins. Poggio Morino is following the best traditional winemaking ideas in the Tuscany region with wines that represent the territory and the soil from the Chianti Region to Maremma from its best side.
LE CROIZILLON
Malbec Cahors, France, 2022
5oz $13 Bottle $60
Surprisingly delicate and fresh, almost like a vin de soif. Herbs and underripe berries on the nose lead to a palate that is tart, slightly dusty, and very refreshing. Extremely versatile food wine.
VINEYARD PINOT NOIR
Closson Chase Vineyards, Prince Edward County, 2021
5oz $14 Bottle $65
Bright red fruits, cherries, and strawberries with cream followed by floral tones, sage, and forest floor. The fruit is round and soft in the mouth, with savoury undertones of beetroot showing on the palate. Long finish with dried florals, sage, and sour cherries ending in delicate tannins.
BOZETO DE EXOPTO
Grenache / Tempranillo, Rioja, Spain, 2022
5oz $14 Bottle $65
Deep red with a bright rim. Spicy cherry and black raspberry on the nose, with brisk mineral and floral overtones. Juicy and focused, offering sweet raspberry and blackberry flavours and snappy acidity. Impresses with precision rather than power and finishes with juicy berry flavours and good persistence.
INTROVERT
Cabernet Sauvignon, Precision Wine, California, 2022
5oz $15 Bottle $70
A very balanced and refined cabernet with blackberry, blackcurrant and floral character. Medium to full-bodied, subtle and complex.
