Herbal & Spicy

Garage Wine Co was literally started in a garage in 2001, by Etobicoke expat Derek Mossman and his wife Pilar Miranda. Since then, the dynamic duo have chosen to revive old vineyards in marginalized Chilean communities. They work mostly in the regions of Maule and Itata where they make highly coveted wines.

This is a single-plot wine coming from the Bagual Vineyard, located near the banks of the Perquilauquen river. A river that (very unusual for Chile!) flows from the Coastal Mountains East towards the Andes passing through Caliboro bringing granitic silt with it. The expressive and aromatic nose of the 2016 Bagual Vineyard made Luis Gutierrez from Robert Parker think of a vermouth or a Barolo Chinato, with tons of aromatic herbs, spices and flowers. It has abundant, fine-grained tannins and a powerful mouthfeel, while at the same time, having elegance and balance.

Wines made from Carignan are ideal with richer poultry dishes such as turkey or duck, roasted pork, or even a meaty beef brisket.

Full-Bodied & Smooth

At the beginning of the 1900’s the Nuti family bought a small plot of land in a locality known as “La Regola”, in the town of Riparbella, (a place name found in the Florence land register dating back to the 1700’s), to produce a small amount of olive oil and wine for family consumption. In the 1990’s, Luca, Rolando’s eldest son, with a degree in agriculture, began planting more vines, upgraded the wine cellar and introduced French oak barrels like those used for the production of the famous Sassicaia wine and produced the first bottled wines.

Made with organically grown Cabernet Franc, this beautifully aged wine is a real treat! Expect notes of roasted coffee beans, menthol, licorice, dried roses & mineral which adds to the complexity on the palate. Expect dark fruit aromas in a polished expression of the Tuscan coast.

Try this back vintage Super Tuscan with braised red meats and game or aged pecorino cheeses (12-24 months).

The healthy grapes macerate on the skins for 15 days and age in concrete tanks. Expect intense floral aromas of violet on the nose that intermingle with fruity notes of strawberry and black currant, backed with fragrant hints of cinnamon and vanilla.

Štekar Rebula, Goriška Brda, Slovenia 2019. Located in Snežatno in the Goriška Brda zone of Slovenia, near the border of Italy, Štekar winery is known for producing wines in the traditional manner, with extended skin contact and little or no sulphur added. The hilly rugged terrain is marked with monuments to both world wars.

Rebula, also known as Ribolla Gialla, is a grape native to Friuli in Italy and this little corner of western Slovenia. As the natural fermentation began, the skins remained with the must for 24 days before being removed. The wine remained in giant Acacia wood barrels for eight months before being bottled without filtration. The result is expressive and spectacular; aromatic and inviting on the nose, the Rebula showcases yellow fruit, a firm structure.

Waxy & Floral

Lighthall Vineyards is a small, proud, low volume and high quality winery located in enchanting Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada. All their wines are produced in a non-interventionist manner and fuelled by passion as hearty as our vines. They also make cheese, designed to pair with their wines.

This wine starts with an abundant and complex nose - white peach, citrus, sweet white flowers and a stitch of white pepper dominate. The palate follows the nose closely, with a clear lemon/lime and peach freshness, leading to a very long and lingering off dry finish of white flowers and Jolly Ranchers.

With the little bit of residual sugar in the wine, it makes a great match for foods with a bit of heat. Spicy curries, Guaitiao (Thai noodle soup), Shrimp with noodles, or Chicken Masala with mango chutney for example. Leaner white fish like bass, pickerel, red snapper served with a fresh salad of greens with citrus segments makes a great summertime match. Creamy fresh cheeses like Brie, Camembert, or Crottin all are great, while classic Germanic foods like weisswurst, pretzels, and spaetzle also work well.

This is, quite simply, why we are here. This vintage showcases great ripeness, with a huge concentration of cherry flavour. Vanilla, raspberry, and notes of dark earth lead the aroma into the deep palate of black forest cake, black pepper, and amerena cherry.

Classically, a pan seared duck breast with black pepper and wild mushroom risotto is delightful. We also recommend blue cheeses, gruyere, taleggio, grilled pork butt chop with a Saskatoon berry or sumac compote, confit duck leg with black truffles, or grilled salmon.

Nutty & Waxy

This wine is unmistakably County Pinot Gris. The aromas of pear and cantaloupe yogurt are delicate, rich, and inviting. The use of an Alsatian yeast strain and our method of partially fermenting in old French oak barrels give a smooth and rich mouthfeel, while the waxy finish of unctuous confit apple with a hint of nutmeg keep you coming back for more.

Choucroute garnie, foie gras, pork dishes, veal parmiggiano, chicken with cream sauces, and a traditional turkey dinner are all wonderful. Pizza bianca with a cream base, taleggio and pear is delightful, while meatier fish like halibut, cod, trout, or arctic char are ideal for the fish lovers. Chèvre and brie make great cheese options.

Lighthall's famous sparkling Pinot Noir, re-fermented using the Charmat method. A slight change in production method saw a little less skin contact and more whole cluster pressing, presenting a wine packed full of strawberry flavour and hibiscus aroma. Very crisp and fruity while still refreshingly dry, this wine matches exceptionally with spicy rosé sauce, sweet red bell peppers and cheese boards.

It begins with a sparkle of salted lemon and an aroma reminiscent of the beautiful land on which it is grown - County limestone shale. The velvety shortbread and macadamia nut flavours on the palate are derived from its Traditional Method style, aging 2 years on lees in this very bottle. Santé!

Full & Smooth

Sister’s Run is serious fun and serious wine. The talented, young winemaker Elena Brooks (of Dandelion Vineyards and Heirloom Vineyards fame) wears steel cap work boots every day of course, but carries a pair of high heels in back of the ute, only for emergencies, like last minute invitations to accept trophies at gala wine show dinners and the like.

Primary aromatics abound, and they are all a clarion call to fresh, bright, lively grenache:
berried fruits, red boiled lollies, homemade jelly, licorice and wild flowers. Higher notes of
fennel and of tar also loose off a few shots, in remembrance of the sunburnt mirth and the warm South. This red wine is an effortless three-step dance. An exalting, Cossack-kicking grenache quickly leads before being turned more slowly by earth, wind, and pepper’s fire - courtesy of the shiraz.

This red wine will deal with the most robust foodstuffs you can minister; and it
will be a red wine as happily chilled in the hotter weather as served in the depths of a long winter..

Explosive aromas of fresh mandarin orange, Meyer lemon, fresh ginger, and notions of nutmeg and honeysuckle immediately engage the olfactory senses.The palate echoes the nose, but also brings in mango, lychee and rose-petal with the light citrus and floral components wiping through the background. A rich mouthfeel is brought on with this warmer vintage as well as the lees in bottle. Serve well chilled. Pour immediately.

Leaning Post Riesling VQA Niagara Peninsula 2018. The 2018 Riesling is the epitome of what makes bench Riesling great. It shows beautiful lemon, lime, and stone fruit aromas with a touch of honeysuckle followed but intense minerality. The palate replays the nose with some added honeydew melon and spice all balanced by crisp acidity with a fresh finish reminiscent of fallen leaves. The wine will age well for the next decade.
