August Newsletter

Dear Customer,

Hope everyone is have a fantastic summer now that the good weather has arrived. We would like to congratulate the winners of the prizes from last months customer appreciation sale draws.

The following people won an Island Mist Twisted Mist Strawberry Margarita kit:

Jocelyn Deck

Susan Agar

Barb Corbitt

Laureen Flanagan

And Jerry Croteau is the Grand Prize winner of the entire 2010 Selection Limited Edition Series that starts arriving in January and the varieties will be announced in October.

One last reminder that we have a few special limited quantity wines that we are taking pre-orders for. The last day for these pre-orders is August 4th. These will be great wines so if they interest you don't let this opportunity pass you by.

 The Chocolate Raspberry Port is back for a short time and it has brought some friends in a Blackberry Port and an Okanagan Peach Icewine.  The juice will start to arrive in early September which means they can be ready for the Holiday season. They come in 11.5L for $159 and 23L for $258, this is payable when the juice arrives not when you reserve.

For the first time ever Winexpert is producing some value brand limited time offerings. These kits will arrive in early September. One is a red World Vineyard Chilean Carmenère/Malbec,  Chile's signature grape, Carmenère brings dark cherry, chocolate and tobacco, while Malbec gives black fruits, red berries, spice and great structure, all leading to a lush toasty-smoky finish. There is also one white World Vineyard Argentine Chardonnay/Torrontes,  Argentina's greatest white grape, Torrontes has enticing aromas of peach and orange blossoms, citrus and white fruit, complimenting Chardonnay's Tropical fruit and green apple notes to a mouth-filling finish. We will be taking names for these wines to ensure we have enough in stock for every one. The price for these are $150 for made on premise and $90 for just the kit.

Also Winexpert is releasing a limited time offering in The Selection International Series. This wine is a red Selection International French Gamay Nouveau. The Gamay Nouveau, like Frances' Beaujolais, is a celebration of harvest season. Fresh, lush and Juicy, this wine is a bold purple-red colour. Lightly chilled it reveals bold fruit, with hints of banana, pear, candy, some even say bubble gum and the low levels of tannin make it deliciously drinkable. The price for these are $170 for made on premise and $110 for just the kit.

Cheers, Sandra & Michael Beyond The Grape On-Premise Winemaking

Tip Of The Month

OPENING SPARKLING WINE

The best way to open sparkling wine is to grasp the cork tightly and turn the bottle. This reduces the chance of breaking the cork.

 "Popping" a sparkling wine cork is very dangerous. Rather, keep your hand on the cork and gently ease it out as you feel pressure begin to build.

 Never point sparkling wine directly at anyone while opening.

 A pair of sparkling wine pliers are useful when opening several bottles at once.

 Chill sparkling wine well before opening. Warm sparkling wine is under greater pressure than well-chilled sparkling wine. Besides, it tastes better.
