Greetings!peter headshot

 

September always signifies change. Back to school, end of holidays, start of fall. I can't comment on wearing white shoes after Labour Day - but I recommending drinking pink (Rose!) all year round.

We have some great September sales and contests to ease you into autumn, and I've highlighted a few of them in this newsletter. The best way to keep up-to-date on new releases and promotions is through Twitter and Facebook, as well as the Specials page of our website.

Remember - this newsletter is only for our valued Loyalty Club Members, and will provide you with exclusive product notes and promotions. 

I hope you enjoy the information. As always, please feel free to forward a copy of this newsletter to friends and family that may not know about us yet. We look forward to seeing you in store soon.

Sincerely,

Peter Heemskerk

Russell Brewery Lemon Ale

 

At Tillicum Liquor Express we offer a light summery beer from Russell Brewery, located on the lower mainland. Lemon Ale retails for $12.99 and is a delightful citrusy thirst-quencher. While it stands well on its own in a freezer-chilled glass, it pairs well with seafood and chicken - light late summer fare. 

 

 

Paul - Manager, Pipers Liquor Express, Nanaimo

Lake Breeze Pinot Blanc 2010      

 

From the Naramata Bench region in the Okanagan Valley, this wine has been a favouite of mine for some time.The 2010 has lively citrus and green apple aromas that flow nicely into a clean and fresh palate. This wine is a wonderful patio sipper on its own, but  pairs well with delicate flavoured meats and chicken. Double Gold Medal winner at the All Canadian Wine Awards. $19.69
