Our New Mixed Picks 
June 2020 
 


 
With this newsletter, we are mixing it up. Literally!

We are excited to let you know that Ontario wine agents are now legally allowed to sell mixed cases of wine! This is something we have been lobbying for for a long time, and now the provincial government and the LCBO have put a mixed case program in place.

To kick off this new era in wine enjoyment, we've curated three different cases for you. They include customers' favourites, as well as some of our tried and true go-tos. Here's to the new mix!  

Because this is a new LCBO program that we're participating in, delivery turn-around will be longer than with unmixed cases. You won't be out-of-pocket, however, as payment is only processed the business day before delivery.

Delivery of the mixed cases is limited to the greater Toronto area, and southern and eastern Ontario.

Mixed-case prices are based on the current retail bottle prices, and includes a $20+hst handling fee to allow us to repack the wines.

Our full pricelist can be found  here. You can browse and order from us online.

To order these mixed case features or our unmixed cases, you can simply reply to this e-mail, place an order request online, or call me. (If the line is busy, please leave a message.)

I've enlisted two of my sommelier colleagues to help me reply to your requests and schedule your orders in a timely manner: you may hear back from Alison Lee or Elizabeth Clinton as well.

A Taste of Tuscany  
$321.50, six bottles, taxes included
average bottle price $53.58
 
Our first feature is a six-bottle selection, comprised of two bottles  from three of Tuscany's most renowned wineries! A Sangiovese tutorial in a box, if you will. Explore the differences between regional adaptations of the grape and the role that terroir plays.
 
This case contains two bottles of each of these three wines: 
 
"Altesino in the far north of the Montalcino zone has long been a standard-bearer for Montalcino." - JancisRobinson.com 
 
"Avignonesi is one of Tuscany's most respected producers, with wines that consistently win kudos worldwide." - Gambero Rosso  
 
"Among the many excellent estates located in Panzano is Fontodi, one of the finest wine estates in the world." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
 


Napa Valley: Curated Cabernet
$297.50, six bottles, taxes included
average bottle price $49.58
 
If you're a fan of full-bodied, opulent reds, then a  sensory Napa Valley exploration should be on your agenda this summer. The three pairs of wines included in this pack exude the warmth and generosity of Napa Valley's signature grape, each in their own delicious way. This is a perfect case for when you're sitting on your deck watching the sun set, or for pouring beside your best barbecued burgers and ribs.
 
This case contains two bottles of each of these three wines: 
 
Buehler Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2017
A quintessential Napa Valley Cabernet - poised, polished, effortlessly satisfying.  
 
Martin Ray Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
"Rich and dense...Medium-to full-bodied with soft and round tannins. Juicy fruit. Outstanding. Serious at this price. - 93 points, JamesSuckling.com

Luscious aromas of raspberry, plum and cassis...a touch of cedar and vanilla. Layers of ripe cherries, red currants and berry jam provide a rich mouth feel. Ripe tannins focus the palate and provide a lengthy finish of spice and deep red fruit.
