I'm Pinot Noir
The Star
There’s a reason I’m often the most expensive on the shelf; I’m the red carpet in a glass, luxurious and complex, not a warm-climate jam bomb. You’ll never tire of my brightness, and if you treat me right, you’ll see I’m pretty down to earth too.
Likes: Sun hats
Dislikes: Microwaves
I'm Gamay
The Magnet
With bright acidity that keeps things fresh and exciting, I can fit in anywhere – from a casual BBQ to a formal event. Chilled slightly I’m the perfect companion, keeping you coming back for more with my lively and refreshing character.
Likes: CBC Radio
Dislikes: Knock-knock jokes
I'm Baco Noir
The Lumberjack
Picture this: a flannel blanket, a roaring fire, and chocolatey, toasty s’mores. That’s me…in a glass. If you could pour a campfire in a glass and drink it, would you? Not literally of course. Unless…?
Likes: Outdoor grillin’
Dislikes: Costume parties
I'm Cabernet Merlot
The Crowd Pleaser
Whether you call me Cab Merlot, Merlot Cab, or Meritage, I’m here to bring rich, layered flavours and please everyone on the guest list (but most importantly – you!). An everyday companion or a luxurious treat, I’ve got you covered.
