It's definitely feeling like summer is on the way!  Time to start thinking about outside pastimes - picnics, barbeques, weddings, or just entertaining friends on the patio.  Lots of new products in to help with your beverage planning.

To enhance your cocktail repertoire, you may want to consider registering for  "Gins in June" coming up on June 19th.  Gin is a wonderful summer spirit to use for cocktails.  We'll try several and discuss ways to use it in your favourite summer drink.


The new website is up. In addition to some more interactive features, we have added an Events Calendar which will list up coming tastings, classes, and events to get involved in.  Check back often to see what might interest you and your friends. We love your feedback.

Our 5th Anniversary of the store is coming up on July 1 weekend!  Hard to believe........ We hope you will drop by and sample some products, win a prize and share some cake with us to celebrate this milestone!
