| 2009 Tantalus Vineyards Riesling - $24.90 "Arguably one of the top wineries in British Columbia, Tantalus' Riesling is my personal favourite BC wine every year it would seem. An intense and classic example of great Riesling, Tantalus shows why Riesling is truly the most noble of all the grapes. Captivating aromas of apple lime, fresh nectarine and white floral notes set the stage for an amazingly flavoured wine. This Riesling is bone-dry, with expansive, pure fruit flavours framed by a distinct minerality you just don't find in any other BC wines. With brisk acidity balancing out the intense fruit flavours, this is an incredibly versatile wine - amazing on its own, this will go with everything from Thai food, to BBQ'd Salmon, to pasta dishes. And on top of all that, it's a steal for the price too." - Tasted by Andrew Melville, Marquis Wine Cellars Buy |

| 2008 Tantalus Vineyards Pinot Noir - $34.90 "The Pinot program at Tantalus is developing at a rapid pace, particularly as new clones start to come into production. The 2008 has fantastic aromas of cherry, clove, raspberry and strawberry with perfumed floral notes and a touch of orange zest. The palate has good texture with chocolate, strawberry, undergrowth, spice and sweet vegetal notes, balanced with quite soft tannins and lingering long on the finish. Barrel samples of the 2009 ensure this wine will be getting more attention in the future." Rhys Pender MW, Savour Magazine Buy |

| 2007 Painted Rock 'Red Icon', 1.5L - $134.80 "Marquis Wine Cellars is pleased to announce we have received a limited, exclusive allocation of the 2007 Painted Rock Icon in magnum format. This wine is already sold out at the winery and won the 2010 Lieutenant Governor's Award for Excellence In BC Wines. This is a brilliant Meritage style blend with concentration and restraint rarely seen in wines anywhere in the world. A worthy candidate for the best red I have ever tasted in British Columbia. If you or your company are planning any corporate gift programs this year this is the ultimate prize." - David Lancelot, Marquis Wine Cellars Buy |
