Once again we will be partnering with the Sturgeon Hospital Community Foundation and for your donation at the door, you will be able to sample over 35 wines and spirits, and all for a good cause! It’s an opportunity to taste what you may have never even heard of before, and also a chance for you to invite your friends!

Ken Forrester is one of the premier producers of not only Chenin Blanc, but other wines also.  Situated on the slopes of the Helderberg Mountain, in the heart of South Africa’s most famous wine region Stellenbosch, the vineyards are commonly referred to as the Home of Chenin Blanc and other premium award-winning wines. Over the years the range of top quality wines has received massive national and international acclaim with literally hundreds of awards and accolades. The wines are broadly available in reputable restaurants and exported around the globe. Ken Forrester’s philosophy has always been to create a range of handcrafted, individually made wines that suitably complement a wide variety of food styles and provide excellent value.

Ken’s Export Manager will join us here at the store for an intimate look at the region of Stellenbosch, and their wines from the land. More details to come, but you will not want to miss this exclusive tasting! Only $25 per person, call or email the store to book your spot!

Many of us only think of one wine when it comes to Germany: Riesling, and the presumption that all is sweet. In fact, there are many faces to riesling, from the ultra dry, to sparkling to the unctuously sweet. And Austria is even more unknown to the consumer! Join Marcia J. Hamm of Joy of Wine as 8 wines from Germany and Austria are unveiled for your tasting pleasure! You’ll be surprised at the quality and the prices vary for every budget level! For $50 per person, come out to taste some unsung heroes that are to some, obscure, unknown and perhaps confusing, but high in taste and quality! Only 16 spaces available, call or email the store to book your spot!

Everyone loves Port right? But does everyone know about each style of Port? There is white port, crusted port, ruby port, tawny….the list goes on, and many don’t know the difference between all the styles. This will be a very informative tasting on the styles available in the market and will also give  you the opportunity to taste several different types of port. Marcia J. Hamm of Joy of Wine will host this tasting. There are only 12 seats available, so call or email the store to book your spot! Stay tuned for more details on this tasting as time gets closer.

It’s the most anticipated event of the year! We will be partnering with the Sturgeon Community Hospital Foundation, and with your donation at the door, we’ll give you a glass, then you have the opportunity to tour the store and sample 60+ products that some amazing reps will have open for you! There will also be snacks provided so come and go anytime between 5:30 pm and 8:30 pm, no need to RSVP. Tell all your friends, we’d love to see you!!

Please note, this is an ADULT ONLY event! No one under the age of 18 will be admitted!
