We always have fun choosing wines for you to welcome the weekend with!
This weekend we are featuring wines where the wine industry first originated - KELOWNA!
When we think of the wine industry, many of us think of only the Oliver/Osoyoos area - however, realistically, many great great wines come right from our Kelowna wineries.
Mission Hill Winery for example, has taken home the most esteemed prizes a winery could hope for, winning the BEST CHARDONNAY IN THE WORLD, along with not only THE BEST PINOT NOIR IN THE WORLD, but that Pinot also won BEST RED WINE IN THE WORLD, beating out Top French Bordeaux wines, Top Australian Shiraz, Top Napa Cabernet.
So this weekend we celebrate where our great wine industry originated, tasting with you new exciting pics from Kelowna!
As always, our complimentary tastings are from 3-6pm, Fridays and Saturdays.
Cheers,
Kim Murphy

Spierhead 2015 Pinot Gris $22.60 +taxes
This pale straw coloured Pinot Gris has lots of body. It is a rich, well balanced wine, with plenty of freshness to match its tropical flavours.
Kalala 2015 Harmony White $16.51 +taxes
ORGANIC
This Kalala signature aromatic blend has a tropical nose and palate, full of ripe passion fruit, grapefruit and guava with just a hint of minerality. It is just slightly off dry with vibrant acidity and a lingering finish. Great sipping wine or try with some light snacks. A blend of: Pinot Gris 45%, Gewürztraminer 30%, Riealing 15% and Auxerrois 10%. Each varietal in this fruit-forward blend was fermented separately with a specific yeast in stainless steel to ensure that the varietals’ unique characteristics were preserved. After the wines were finished, we went through extensive blending trials with the Kalala team to achieve the perfectly-balanced wine.
Kalala 2013 Aspire $26.08 +taxes
ORGANIC~NEW VINTAGE
A rich, bold blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah with aromas and flavours of plum, blueberry and cherry. Abundant tannins would suggest decanting before serving with heartier foods. Quite enjoyable now but also an excellent wine to age; 3-5 years is suggested.
Summerhill 2014 Baco Noir $34.50 +taxes
ORGANIC~NEW VINTAGE
Deep red with balanced acidity and intense flavours. Very smooth and hearty with notes of chocolate, tobacco, blackberry, black currant, and integrated oak.

Mission Hill 2015 Reserve Chardonnay $23.47 +taxes
BEST SELLER
Flavours of ripe pineapple, yellow peach, coconut, orange, jasmine, and hazelnut combine in perfect harmony with crisp acidity and roundness. Pair with herbed grilled salmon, scallops, tuna, roast chicken, veal, pork and rich buttery sauces. This Chardonnay is for the Chardonnay lover as well as the Chardonnay beginner. Well balanced and rich is good with food or on its own.
Oak Bay 2014 Gamay Noir $25.50 +taxes
NEW VINTAGE
