Visiting Wine Country?

So many of you have shared with us your plans for a trip to to Prince Edward County wine country, or the Niagara region this summer. 


And Wine Kitz Ottawa Iris is once again delighted to be able to offer our customers complimentary tasting tickets. 

Our Prince Edward County wine partners this year areThe Grange, Sandbanks, and Huff Estates. I highly recommend a visit to all three. 

For Niagara Region we have passes to both the Trius at Hillebrand
and  Peller Estates wineries (both of which are owned by Andrew Peller Ltd. which also owns the Wine Kitz brand.)

 

You know how much we love to give stuff away at Wine Kitz Ottawa Iris, so if your summer plans include a visit to wine country, drop in to pick up your passes. 

Who Doesn't
Love Sangria?

What a perfect time of year to mix up a pitcher or two of Sangria to beat the heat and kick back with friends and family.




The Perfect
Summer Salad
And of course August is an ideal time for patio luncheons as well.
This Grilled Chicken and Avacado Salad is so easy to prepare and will "wow" the most discerning of your guests.

Pair it with a crisp Pinot Grigio or a soft Pinot Noir

ARRIVING AUGUST 4
This year's Cheeky Monkey Limited Releases are inspired by classic French wine styles. Enchanté Red and Déjà Vu White are New World wines made in the Bordeaux style. You are really going to enjoy this Cheeky twist on old favourites!
 
Enchanté Red is a vibrant blend with a certain je ne sais quoi that is sure to leave you charmed. Cherry and currant aromas rendezvous with notes of oak; rich avant-garde flavours of cherry, currant, and plum are accented by oak and a soft tannin finish. Enchanté, indeed.
(California Cabernet Sauvignon, Cab Franc, Merlot)
 
Déjà Vu White is designed to give you a little déjà vu, but our New World twist will have you saying 'ooh la la'. Lemon, lime, and subtle grapefruit aromas lead in to the true pièce de résistance - a dry, crisp palate with fresh citrus and melon flavours, rounded out with soft oak and gentle vanilla notes. Voila! C'est magnifique!
(Australia Sauvignon Blanc, California Semillion)

Medium bodied early drinking wines created in the French Bordeaux style.

Start one now and enjoy it with family and friends this Fall.

Arriving mid-September.
Order one today.
Like many of you, summer truly is my favourite season.

So far this summer I've managed some very lazy days sitting on docks, sitting on beaches and sitting in boats, usually with a glass of refreshing wine in hand. August promises more of the same, along with a special visit to Prince Edward County to take in some of the summer winery events.  
While I'm out gallivanting around spreading wine cheer, the rest of the Wine Kitz Ottawa Iris Team has been working hard to ensure individual care is given to each one of our customers and each one of your wines. Extraordinary customers, extraordinary wines!

Please take a few minutes to savour the sunny days, to enjoy the beautiful outdoors, and to share some great Wine Kitz Ottawa Iris wines with friends and family.

Cheers!
