OVER THE TOP WINES 

by Janice Robinson

As one of the most revered wines produced in Australia, the E & E Black Pepper Shiraz is consistently listed in the Wine Spectators Top 100 wines of the year.  Accolades not withstanding, this wine is much sought after by collectors and lovers of big, bold reds.  Unfortunately it is also very limited in its availability as only one shipment is sent to B.C. per year.   read more

So what do you serve with an “over the top” wine like Black Pepper Shiraz?  

This quarter, Chef Shayne Shepherd from St. James’s Well in Newport Village, Port Moody creates a menu to pair with this exquisite wine. Get his recipe here!  read more

Joie Wines are in!

We are one of only a few private stores in Vancouver to carry these sought after wines. Limited quantities and they will go fast.  Riesling, Noble Blend and the Rose are all excellent wines in the $24.50 to $28.00 range.  Great to buy now and put away for the patio this summer!
