Red Rooster Reserve Gewurztraminer (Canada) – “This Queen hen really knows how to stand out and flock with aromas of spring blossoms, lemon drops, delicate pear and a touch of sweet spice and lychee fruit. A medium-bodied, dry, slightly rich wine with flavours of tropical fruit and pear. Which linger on through the refreshing finish.”  (website)

Navarro Correas Extra Brut Sparkling Wine (Argentina) – “Pale yellow in colour.  Fruity and fresh, where the white peach, apricot and toasted bread tones stand out.  In the mouth it appears with great complexity, a lot of fruit, highlighting the flavor of dry peach, pears and yeast.  It has a long finish.”  (website)  We will have an in-store tasting of this sparkling wine on Friday February 11 from 4pm until 8pm.
