Dr H. Thanisch Bernkastler Badstube Riesling Kabinett 2011 $17.99
Fine level of acidity on the palate with notes of lush lemon peel, apple, and clover honey. There is ripe yellow fruit on the long finish. Exceptional balance.

Besserat de Bellfon Champagne Brut N.V. $29.99
The medium straw colour has copper highlights and delicate fast moving bubbles forming a fine necklace. Its open nose leads to floral aromas and hints of dried flowers, while the paalate reveals fruitiness, white peaches and Mirabelle plums, followed at the end by hazelnut and caramelized nut notes. The gentle bubbles provide a creamy mouth feel and long finish. A classic blend of 35% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir and 45% Pinot Meunier.

Montgravet Cotes de Gascogne 2011 $8.99
From southwest France comes this engaging, medium-bodied wine that offers notes of melon, candied apricot, green apple, lime and cream. This wine is made completely from the Colombard grape which is also traditionally distilled into Cognac or Armagnac.

Santa Julia Organic Malbec 2011 $9.99
Purple red colour. This is a rich yet fruity wine with a nose of sweet violets as well as ripe fruits such as figs and raisins. The palate is packed with flavors of plum, cherry and strawberries with hints of chocolate and a spicy finish.
