2015 Organic Pinot Grigio, Veronese IGT, San Raffaele, Veneto, Italy 12% (204768) $13.95
An easy to enjoy PG with characteristic lemon, grapefruit, apple, pear and floral notes. Light bodied and fresh, this is a great choice for when you're trying to pick a wine that will please a party of people. Simple, unoaked and easy to pair with a variety of dishes, or pleasant on its own. 86 

2014 Estate Selection Malbec, Chakana, Mendoza, Argentina 14.5% (219261) $21.95
Aged 12 months in French oak. A big, ripe and juicy Malbec brimming with black fruit - blackberries, cassis, black cherry and hints of vanilla and cardamom. Lushly textured with soft tannins and full body. A hedonistic wine to enjoy with a bison steak and grilled veggies. 87
 
2014 Montebuena Cuvée KPF, Rioja DOc, Bodegas e Viñedos Labastida, Spain 13.5% (211029) $15.95
100% Tempranillo from the Montebuena vineyard. Aged four months in American oak. Blackberry, cassis, raspberry, black cherry, strawberry preserves, sweet spice, vanilla and toast. Medium bodied with fresh acidity, smooth tannins and approachable in style. 86
 
2015 Sauvignon Blanc, Wither Hills, Wairau Valley, Marlborough, New Zealand 13% (919514) $19.95
A fresh and fruity nose with lime, honeydew melon, green apple, greengages, nettle, fennel and white pepper. Medium bodied with racy acidity and tangy finish. This would be great with a red snapper and shrimp ceviche - the acidity in the wine would be the perfect match the zestiness of the ceviche. 88
 
2014 Chateau Guillou, Montagne Saint-Émilion AC, Vignobles Jean-Bernard Saby & Fils, Bordeaux, France 13% (140483) $19.95
A delicious blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. Velvety black fruit; plum, black cherry preserves, brambly berries with sweet spice, cigar, leather, cedar and dried floral undertones. Full bodied, with ripe, firm tannins and a lengthy spicy finish. Amazing value for the price, a perfect wine to sip on as weather gets cooler. 90
 
2014 ‘Five Vineyards’ Chardonnay, Mission Hill, Okanagan Valley VQA, British Columbia 13.5% (281212) $15.95
The grapes come from five vineyards as the name would suggest: Oliver, Lakeshore, Osoyoos, Westbrook and Naramata. Ripe and luscious with white peach, candied lemon, baked apple, sweet spice, vanilla and hazelnut. Full bodied with balanced acidity and generous texture. Lengthy vanilla finish. This would be really delicious with baked salmon with a honey Dijon glaze and roasted baby potatoes. 88
 
2014 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Mission Hill, Okanagan Valley VQA, British Columbia 13% (553321) $29.95
A luscious sexy red with ripe berries, black cherry, blackberry, pie filling, wine gums, sweet spice, vanilla. Full, bold and flavourful with firm, ripe tannins and persistent spicy finish. A great example of the awesome quality coming out of BC. This is one not to miss... 88
