Favourite Wine Bottle Memories


This is a bottle of Chateau Prieure Lichine Margaux from 1986. This is my favourite wine bottle ever. Why is it my favourite? I am so glad you asked. I remember when Adrian Trochta opened it on a beautiful summer evening on his back deck. We were all gathered to say goodbye to one of our favourite employees, a Mr. Ryan Gibson (who is still very much missed). After dinner, Adrian brought out a decanter that looked like it contained a bit of magic. This Margaux was splendid. It held wonderfully for the twenty or so years in the bottle before we had the privilege to taste it. The supple wine combined with the sunset and great people make it one of my favourite wine drinking moments. What are yours?

Dorothy Amey Giving Our Window a face-lift


We are taking care of our spring cleaning by sprucing up our storefront. For the last two years Dorothy's work has drawn attention from customers because her beautiful window displays artfully reflect our passion. She is here to update our grapes to glass design. Salute!
