Tasting Notes: Hailing from Niagara Peninsula in Ontario, this Gewürztraminer Riesling Fusion is highly aromatic with green apple, lychee, pink grapefruit and rose petal characters. The palate follows nose, with the addition of honey, ripe peach, tangerine and subtle undertones of honeydew melon. This wine is a great summer patio sipper, but consider foods higher in chili-driven spice, like Pad Thai and Indian Madras curry or Butter Chicken Samosas and lean, flaky fish like pan seared wild striped bass. This wine also pairs well with comfort foods like chicken wings, pot pie and BLT sandwiches. Delicious choice!

Tasting Notes: Banff Whisky is a blend of three distinct whiskies made from 100% local Alberta rye aged in new American oak . The five year whisky on the front end adds black currant, candied ginger, and sweet baking spices. The six year on the mid palate contributes cinnamon shortbread and toffee. The seven year whisky on the finish lends rich vanilla and cigar box. These flavors will linger on the palate well after the last sip. The art of the blend is to balance these three distinctly different profiles, resulting in a delicious, layered, and complex whisky.

Tasting Notes: Sarah Marquis built her reputation on Mollydooker; the Gigglepot is named after her daughter Sarah; in the photo on the label she can't stop giggling with those thick framed glasses. This is a big, bold, structured Cab. Aromas of sandalwood, violets, loam, roasted red fruits, blackberry jam, espresso, dark chocolate. Big palate! Massive layers of dark fruit, blackberries, currants, and a fantastic kick of eucalyptus on the back. Truly Cab territory. Tannins already integrated, this wine will improve with time but you will find it pretty hard to keep your mitts off it. According to Sarah, to make your experience even better, give it the 'shake' until 2027. For more, here's the link: https://mollydookerwines.com/about. Pair with grilled beef, pork, roast lamb; choose your guests wisely! Vegan friendly.

Tasting Notes: There is a disctinctly exotic profile to this gin. Bold aromas of lime, juniper, lemon peel and ginger greet you on the nose; the palate is dry and bold with flavours of fresh limes, lemongrass, mandarin and bay leaf followed by subtle heat on the finish. The Rangpur lime is in fact more of a hybrid mandarin orange and citron. Intensely sour and highly acidic, it combines the sharp, tangy bite of a lemon or lime with the aromatic, floral, and slightly smoky notes of a mandarin. If a icy cold Gin & Tonic is your go to summer sipper, give this bracing and aromatic gin a try with a decent tonic. Refreshing and thirst quenching, it's a winner every time.
