Dear %displayname%,

Spring has sprung and that means it’s time to lighten up.  Spring embodies rejuvenation and invigoration and these characteristics call for young, light wines.  So what then are excellent choices for this beautiful season? Crisp Rieslings, an elegant floral Pinot Gris, a refreshing, zesty Sauvignon Blanc or a fruity German Muller-Thurgau are all supremely satisfying. The ease in which these wines can be enjoyed are perfect choices for the refreshment that is Spring.  The days are longer, the flowers are blooming and the weather finally permits patio lounging time and there is no better way to enjoy that time than with a nice cool glass of wine. 

CHEERS!

Estate Series Small Lots Series

Last year, Winexpert introduced the Estate Series Small Lots to provide the opportunity for customers to try ultra-premium, region specific wines that otherwise might not be offered in Estate Series due to the scarce availability of raw materials. There is a set number of Estate Series Small lots wine kits produced and once they’re gone, they’re gone. Many customers raved about last year’ s Okanagan Pinot Blanc, while unfortunately, some missed out.

This May, Winexpert will be introducing 2 new varieties to the Small Lots:
– Estate Series Small Lots: British Columbia Black Sage Bench Chardonnay
– Estate Series Small Lots: 3 Continents Meritage

BRITISH COLUMBIA BLACK SAGE BENCH CHARDONONAY
British Columbia is at the forefront of new, New-World Chardonnays, with a crisp, bright style that’s perfectly balanced for food pairing or casual sipping. Pale yellow, with fresh mineral and citrus flavours, notes of pear, white peach, green apple and fine acidity lead to a long, creamy finish with notes of honey.

This wine can be left unoaked, for the cutting edge of the New World style of racy drinkability, or gently oaked to add notes of vanilla, smoke and butterscotch, along with a lengthened structure and sophisticated finish.

3 CONTINENTS MERITAGE
A Red Meritage is a blend of two or more of the red ’noble’ Bordeaux varieties – Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot, Petit Verdot and the rarer St. Macaire, Gros Verdot and Carmenère. If the blend includes any other grape variety, it is, by definition, not a Meritage. Also, to qualify as a Meritage, no single grape variety can make up more than 90% of the blend.

Winexpert’ s 3 Continents Meritage combines Petit Verdot from Australia, Cabernet Sauvignon from California and Merlot from Chile to make a unique, globe-spanning vision of the quality a wine of the best varieties can truly possess.

The BC Chardonnay and 3 Continents Meritage will only be available in small quantities for a limited time, so don’t miss this rare opportunity to stock your cellar with these two fabulous wines.  Call 465-8466 or email reply to reserve yours.
