They're here...the new release from Behrens & Hitchcock and Erna Schein! High atop Spring Mountain lays this unassuming winery (with one of the coolest tasting "rooms") and one of the best views of the Napa Valley. When you join us this Saturday for the tasting of these rich and powerful wines don't make any plans for the afternoon. There is quite the faithful following of these small-production wines; our limited quantities will likely dissappear by the end of the weekend.


November 13/2010

The classic California "cult wines" are generally hard to find as production is small and are often reserved for collectors willing to pay large sums of money, treating the wines as trophies, investments that will likely never be tasted. Wine...never consumed? If that last sentence baffles you as much as it does us but are intrigued by the IDEA of cult wines, then welcome this new wine with open arms! CULT cabernet sauvignon ($29.95) is from small producer Salvestrin Winery out of Napa Valley. It definitely fits the description of a cult wine, but without the price tag. Delicious and just waiting to be consumed!
Movember 4/2010

In case you haven't heard, we are REALLY in to pinot, and the 2008 Estate Pinot Noir ($55.00) from Mount Eden Vineyards has landed! We only recieve 14 cases a year and it rarely lasts through the weekend. The estate fruit comes from way atop the Santa Cruz Mountains of Saratoga, and has the most stunning view of the valley. Also open from Mount Eden this weekend is the new 2007 Estate Chardonnay ($55.00). One of the oldest plantings of Chardonnay in California, Burgundian in style and seriously age-worthy.


October 28/2010

New wine from Paras Vineyards and one of our close friends and favourite Napa Valley winemakers Douglas Danielak: 2007 petit verdot ($79.95). This showcases some of Mt. Veeder's finest fruit; a glass of this will sweep you away to the vineyard. Only 100 cases produced so dont be shy! Also open this weekend are two wines from husband & wife team Clark-Claudon. The 2009 Wild Iris sauvignon blanc ($32.95) is one of their finer vintages and the 2006 3 Stones cabernet sauvignon ($52.00) represents one of the best values of the Valley. Less than 400 cases produced of each.

Winos and TOOL fans, the Naga is an experience you don't want to miss!


October 12/2010

Blue Mountain has something new! It's not often that Blue Mountain releases a new wine, so we're feeling pretty excited. The 2009 sauvigon blanc ($23.95) marks Blue Mountains first foray with this popular grape. Plenty of research went into this project before the grapes were planted 3 years ago, including trips to France to visit with some of the Loire's top names. The work has paid off as this sauvignon is one of best we've tasted from Canada. Its fresh and appealing, featuring notes of citrus fruit and pear, but underneath there is plenty of richness and complexity rarely found outside of France.


October 1/2010

We are all VERY excited to have this producer in the shop: Aurelio Settimo. Since 1943 the Settimo family has been nestled in the heart of Barolo. After the death of founding winemaker, Aurelio, the estate was left to his daughter. Following in the footsteps of her father, Tiziana continues to create high quality wines of great value that best represent Piedmont. Open all weekend at Glenmore Landing: 2005 Barolo ($49.95), 2004 Barolo Rocche ($59.95) and 2007 Dolcetto d'Alba ($22.95). These wines are beautiful!

The 2008's from Frederic Mugnier of Nuits Saint George have arrived: The 1er cru Clos de la Marechale ($75.00) and the 1er cru Clos des Fourches ($59.95). Former pilot and 5th generation winemaker Frederic Mugnier has been in charge of the estate since 1985. Insisiting on as little intervention in the winemaking process as possible, his wines are elegant and pure. In Freddy's words, "the vines know the secrets of the soil and comminucates them through the grapes". We don't receive much so get them while they're here!
September 18/2010

The Las Acequias malbec is back! All 3 wines of Bodegas Correas are on the shelf, offering incredible value and malbec-y goodness! Also, two new funky Italian wines by Cantina La Vis: the Intaglio rosso and bianco (both $15.95). Located in the Trentino region of northern Italy, La Vis has spent years researching the structure of their land to better understand its terroir. The rosso is a juicy blend of teroldego, lagrein and marzemino, the bianco an exotic mix of muller thurgau, chardonnay and riesling. Pop by to try something new and yummy!

Grapes are harvested by hand and with such diversity in soil, Owen Roe creates wines with distinct and unique personalities. No herbicides or pesticides are used in the making of this product. It's old world vs. new world pinot this weekend at J. Webb!

Bordeaux has been steadily showing better value these days and Chateau le Grand Verdus definitely over performs on quality and price.

The 2006 Grande Reserve ($32.00) ages in large oak barriques for 18 months, with delicate tannins as a result. The family’s best vineyard sites are selected resulting in a merlot dominated wine of strength and freshness.

Two new wines from one of our favourite wine regions, Burgundy, have arrived and will be open for tasting all weekend. The infamous Nicolas Potel has created his very own shareholder-free estate after being kicked out of his negociant business. Domaine de Bellene is situated in Beaune and Potel owns several parcels of some of the best sites in the Cote D'Or. His vineyards average 50-100 years old and are all grown organically. The 2008 Domaine de Bellene Bourgogne rouge ($26.95) offers great quality and impressive value. New producer to the shop, Domaine Lejeune, also offers incredible value. All of their 16.5 acres of vineyards are located in Pommard, which is well-known for the forcefulness of its wines. The estate has been in the family for 5 generations and many of the traditional methods of wine-making are still used. Not only is it home to the oldest traditional fermentation vat in Burgundy, the initial pressing of the grapes is still foot trodden. The 2008 Domaine Lejeune Bourgogne rouge ($24.95) shows a traditional Pommard backbone with fresh fruit and a subtle spiciness.
