Events

Hoppy Easter! We hope the bunny treated you well – lots of chocolate and wine would be ideal. We hope you are having a wonderful time with your family and friends, gorging on Easter dinner – be it turkey or ham or lamb – and enjoying lots of your fabulous wine.

White wine goes best with turkey, something very flavourful such as Chardonnay or Gewurztraminer. If you are serving red make it something light and fruity such as Pinot Noir.

Red wine goes best with lamb, something big and bold such as Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon. For the white wine lover we would suggest Riesling.

Pink wine goes best with ham, something off-dry and thirst-quenching like Grenache Rosé, or White Zinfandel. If you are a white wine lover then choose something light and fruity such as Viognier. For red wine we would suggest Pinot Noir.

However, having said all that, the best wine to serve is your favourite!

Celebrate Earth Day today, there are lots of planned events in our community.

Happy International Viognier Day! Every last Friday of April is International Viognier Day and this year that date is April 25th.

The Viognier grape produces full-bodied wines with natural aromatics such as notes of peach, pears, violets and minerality.

Celebrate with a bottle of our Classic Viognier wine kits. Ready to bottle and drink in 4 weeks.

Today only save $15 on Classic Viognier.

Happy International Merlot Day!

November 7 is International Merlot Day. Not that Merlot lovers need a reason to open a bottle of wine. But as it is International Merlot Day, it is time to celebrate!

Today only ALL Merlot wine kits are $15 off. This includes our 8 week Private Reserve Stag’s Leap Merlot from Napa, our 6 week Reserve Merlot from California, and our 4 week Classic Merlot from Chile.

This year Remembrance Day falls on a Monday. It’s About Wine! will be closed as usual.  Please observe the 2 minutes of silence at 11 AM to honour our veterans.

A heartfelt Thank-You to all the men & women that have served (especially those who gave their lives) and those that are currently serving our country for their courage and dedication.

Tempranillo Day is celebrated on the second Thursday of November every year and this year, it falls on November 14. The Spanish word ‘Temprano’ translates to ‘early,’ and Spain’s native Tempranillo grapes are called so because they are harvested early in the season. In 2011, the Tempranillo Advocates Producers and Amigos Society (TAPAS) celebrated the first Tempranillo Day with the goal of providing a way for people to add to the complexity of their wine drinking.

Celebrate with a glass of Tempranillo – plum, raspberry, and black cherry aromas and it’s fruity taste perfectly complements dishes with a hint of spice, making it a classic pairing with Spanish chorizo. Because of its low acidity, medium tannins, and savory flavor, Tempranillo wine pairs well with a wide range of salads and entrées.

To celebrate we are offering $15 off our Classic Tempranillo wine kit. Today only!
