No matter that it is only November….snow blankets the city, pretty twinkly lights are about, and already the refrains of Christmas carols echo in the malls.   It is beginning to look like the holidays.  And Christmas means Christmas parties…have you booked yours yet?

To book your Christmas event, call us 780-497-7857.

We have special holiday menus, to ensure that whether it is an office party, a family gathering, or a gathering of friends, that you will have food and wine to remember. 

Call us today at 780-497-7857 to ensure your Christmas is merry and bright.

Summer is almost over, but you still have some time to celebrate the eight days of summer that we have had.

Come in and try out our new list of wines by the glass…..some old favourites remain, but we have also added some new soon-to-be favourites.  Responding to customer requests, we have added more single varieties to our list, for your sipping pleasure.

Why not try a new red?

~ 09 Altos Las Hormigas (Malbec) – Argentina ~ $8 glass /$24 ½ litre
~ 09 Cat Amongst the Pigeons, Nine Lives (Shiraz) – Australia ~ $8 glass/$24 ½ litre

…or a new white?

~ 08 Mapmaker (Sauv Blanc) – New Zealand ~ $11 glass/$32 ½ litre

You can also now create your own wine flight.  Choose any three wines, and get three glasses of 2-oz pours, to take you to your own happy place.  It’s a perfect opportunity to try one of our new wines.

Also, in September, in order to make space for our new bottle list, we’ll be discounting our current wine bottle selections!  You’ll be the beneficiary of our discounted bottles of wine.  Stay tuned…

From 4 – 6 pm every day, we want you to be extra happy. 

For $15, you can try one of the wines from our glass list, and pair it with any small plate on our menu.  While money can’t buy you happiness, $15 can make you happier for at least an hour….

What can I eat and drink for $15?

Crab cakes ($12) and a glass of  2008 Olivier Larochette Pouilly-Fuissé ($13).

Short rib tostadas ($12) and a glass of 2008 Crios Syrah-Bonarda ($10).

The possibilities are endless….So come on in and choose your favourite small plate and your favourite glass of wine, and get happier.
