Happy February!
Let’s start out with one of our favourite Valentine’s poem, shall we?
Roses are red,
Wine is also red,
Poems are hard,
Wine.

Exciting News!
Kit Changes Are Coming Next Month! RJS Craftwinemaking, the leading company in wine kits, the company we purchase all of our wine kits from, have announced some significant changes starting in March 2021.
They are rebranding, and re-organizing their varietals and collections. We are excited to see many new wines in the line-up. With the changes, that means some discontinuations, some country of origin changes and – *sigh* – some
slight price changes as well.
We will be updating our website this month to reflect the changes. As the RJS changes come, there will be some shortages of certain varietals, until the end of March. We have a list of everything and we are happy to help you select your next wines with recommendations for new wines, if one of your favourites is being delayed or discontinued.
The first 3 of our 2021 Restricted Quantities Line-Up are now available.
Thank you to those who pre-ordered… for those who didn’t, we have a limited supply this year. Available now: Spanish Tempranillo Merlot, Spanish Muscat and French Cabernet Sauvignon. See below for details!
Updated Covid-19 restrictions:
With the ongoing pandemic, we are limited to 4 clients at one time in the shop, so we have to limit bottling parties to a maximum of 2 people only. Also, please wear a mask before entering the shop. If you have any symptoms of sickness, please call us to re-book for a later time. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Stay Healthy & Happy!! Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Cheers!
