Fine Wine | ||
 | Chateau Cheval Blanc Saint-Emillion Grand Cru 1999 The 1999 vintage is a blend of 59% Merlot and 41% Cabernet Franc, with Cheval Blanc being considered the most esteemed Cab Franc-based wine in the world. Very much a celebrity, it has been featured in many movies and TV shows, having had cameos in episodes of Rumpole of the Bailey and Inspector Morse, and various films such as Ratatouille, Sideways, and the James Bond thriller Never Say Never Again. Appropriately, this wine “star” has many fans amongst the critics, including Robert Parker whose Wine Advocate awarded the 1999 vintage 93 points and mouth-watering praise: “Once past the blockbuster bouquet of menthol, leather, black fruits, licorice, and mocha, the wine reveals medium body, extraordinary elegance, purity, and sweet, harmonious flavours . . . this is a seamless beauty of finesse, charm, and concentration.” The Wine Spectator was similarly impressed, calling the wine “opulent, yet reserved, and beautiful. Offering so much finesse and beauty, this is a polished and gorgeous Cheval.” Two writers at CellarTracker recently awarded 95 and 96, and suggested that this vintage’s time in the cellar was coming to an end. “It’s outstanding – such complexity, lovely long finish. It’s perfect now,” wrote one, with the other scribe adding: “Splendid, simply splendid, at its prime now, don’t wait too much longer.” Valued at $1,500 Donated By Joanne Dunn Item pickup location: Belfry Theatre. | $1,500 |
 | Pacific North West Collection The Winemaker’s Cut Syrah is a single-vineyard production from the Okanagan’s award-winning Lunessence Winery. Aged for 14 months on oak, this deeply coloured, fruit-forward wine offers flavours of red plum, pepper, olives, and smoky bacon. The adjoining Similkameen Valley is home to the well-regarded Orofino Winery, whose Passion Pit Cabernet Sauvignon has always been very popular with the critics, particularly this 2013 vintage. The writers at Vivino were certainly fans, with such comments as “Smoky, meaty, spicy, delicious!!!” and “Leathery, licorice, dried fruits and dark fruit, real nice.” And heading south to Washington State’s Horse Heaven Hills region, the Winery Alexandria Nicole regularly gets applause for its bold and powerful Jet Black Syrah. The 2016 vintage earned 93 points from Wine Spectator, with this comment: “A sophisticated Syrah, refined and tightly focused, yet expressive, with huckleberry, bay leaf and smoked pepper flavours.” Valued at $120 Donated By Whitney Laughlin Item pickup location: The Belfry Theatre. | $120 |
 | VHR Phillips Family Farming 2015 They focus exclusively on Cabernet Sauvignon, and their Phillips Family Farming VHR is prized by serious Cab drinkers for a silky mouthfeel backed up by an intense, powerful core of ripe black fruit. This 2015 vintage scored in the mid-90s with several wine magazines and reviewing sites. But the only tasting notes available online were posted by three reviewers at CellarTracker. Here are some quotes: “Everything about this wine is so fine. There’s a great juxtaposition between the dark fruits and the bright freshness the wine brings.” “This is the kind of California Cab that . . . reminds you why you got serious about wine in the first place.” “The textural purity of the wine is what jumps out: a soft, almost voluptuous satiny finish, sweet yet tart, an endless finish.” Yum! Valued at $310 Donated By Vivienne Zhang Item pickup location: The Belfry Theatre. | $310 |
 | Glaetzer Amon-Ra Shiraz 2017 The concentration and density of flavour is matched by its tremendous length and satisfying aftertaste. The tannins are abundant and mouth-coating, stopping short of grippy but certainly persuasive. A wonderful wine, tremendously flavoursome, profound and persistent, with a core of lush sweet fruit ably balanced by masses of tannin. A very big but balanced wine of great quality. Valued at $100 Donated By Walt & Karen Madro Item pickup location: Belfry Theatre. | $100 |
 | 2013 Napa Valley Futo Wines OV/SL Valued at $320 Donated By Vivienne Zhang | $320 |
 | Tour of Italy The Argiano Brunello got ratings in the mid to high 90s, with heaps of praise (“A structured and impressive wine”; “This is a terrific wine . . . expressive and exuberant”). Nearly as impressive ratings greeted the Masi Costasera Amarone, as well as exciting critical comment (“Full bodied and elegant”; “The wine feels rich and velvety, yet finishes dry and spicy”). Made entirely from Nebbiolo grapes, the 2016 Produttori del Barbaresco averaged 95-point reviews, with raves to match (“A tight and beautiful wine”; “a stunner”; “delicious now and is only going to get better”). Occhipinti SP68 is a fresh, slightly aromatic white from Sicily that is considered “elegant and full of character.” Chianti Classico fans will savour the Il Grigio da San Felice (“A warm sweet mélange of red fruit, baking spice and smoky woodland . . . lush and ripe”). Also from sunny Sicily, the Passo Nerello Mascalese has intense aromatics and spicy, wild berry flavours. And there’s Giusto Rosalia Prosecco to finish the party (“This is a very upbeat and lively Prosecco”). Valued at $318 Donated By Greg Carson Item pickup location: The Belfry Theatre. | $318 |
 | 1982 Tignanello 1.5 litres Because they defied the strict winemaking rules of Chianti and used Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc in the blend, Tignanello by law was designated a mere “table wine.” Ah, but then it started winning major international awards and eventually became an iconic, ultra-premium brand. This 1982 vintage was given a 91-point rating by Wine Spectator, which appreciated its “concentrated ripe raspberry and chocolatey flavors.” Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate had an eloquent, admiring description: “The 1982 is a mature and evolved wine. The bouquet offers tones of cured meat, savory spice, tar, old leather and dried fruit or prune. Silky tannins characterize the smooth finish.” And you’ll double your pleasure with this 1.5L “magnum” bottle. Valued at $950 Donated By Ernest Sargent Item pickup location: The Belfry Theatre. | $950 |
 | 6 pack of Lapierre Morgon Cru Beaujolais - 2010-2015 vintage What is on offer here is a “vertical” sextet of well-aged Lapierre Morgons, from 2010 to 2015, representing a fantastic opportunity to explore Beaujolais at its best. The reviews for these wines are consistently impressive, year to year: Vivino is clearly a fan (“Notes of ripe cherries, plums, leather, dried herbs and some balsamic notes. Elegantly structured, complex and smooth”), as is CellarTracker (“Ruby red, already showing some orange glow. Beautiful nose with ripe cherry, raspberry, leather, clove . . . an elegant and tasty wine”). The 2015 was particularly well received, earning 93 points from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, with this praise: “The palate is nicely structured, brimming over with energy. This is just a superb Morgon.” Valued at $450 Donated By Ernest Sargent Item pickup location: The Belfry Theatre. | $450 |
 | Hospices de Beaune Premier Cru 2017 (1.5l) The Hospices de Beaune Premier Cru, Cuvee Dames Hospitalieres 2017 is a grand expression of Burgundian Pinot Noir. The writers at Vivino were full of praise, including this appealing description: “The nose is packed full of youthful raspberry, red cherry and strawberry, underpinned by graphite, dry forest floor, polished oak and savoury notes. The palate is young & tangy.” According to TotalWine.com this Hospitalieres “Offers a floral bouquet on the nose, then generous, finely tuned fruit right across the palate, balanced by subtle tannins, leading to an ethereal finish.” And after rating it 90-93, WineChronicles added, “Quite a bit of structure and aromatic opulence!” This auction lot is a magnum, so a great dinner party is pretty well guaranteed . . . . Valued at $430 Donated By Ross Woodland Item pickup location: Belfry Theatre. | $430 |
 | Hampton Water Rose A blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Mourvèdre that's aged in oak barrels, it's smooth and silky with juicy acidity and sunny aromas and flavours - think nectarine, apricot, grapefruit zest and wild herbs. Savour it with grilled salmon or chicken pizza bianco. Valued at $30 Donated By Andy Stephenson Item pickup location: The Belfry Theatre. | $30 |
 | Domaine Rolet Magnum Lot Domaine Rolet was founded in the 1942 by Désiré Rolet. The children eventually took over the business, and the winery gradually acquired premium vineyards across all four Jura appellations: Arbois, Côtes du Jura, Étoile, and Château-Chalon. Their 65ha of estate vineyards makes them the largest family owned winery in the Jura. The estate only vinifies the grapes grown from their vineyards using sustainable viticulture methods. Valued at $200 Donated By Andy Stephenson and Judy Stewart Item pickup location: Belfry Theatre. | $200 |
 | Chateau Lafon-Rochet Valued at $150 Donated By Il Terrazzo Item pickup location: Belfry Theatre. | $150 |
 | Château Dereszla Tokaji Aszú 2000 and 2006 This auction lot, from esteemed producer Château Dereszla, includes one bottle each of the 2000 and 2006; all are designated the much-desired “5 Puttonyos,” which places them at the luxuriously sweet end of the Tokaji spectrum. The 2000 vintage got raves from Vivino: “Amazing wine! Dried fruits on the nose with apricot, peach and pineapple. Mmmmm. One of the best wines of my life!” The 2006 earned 95 points from Wine Spectator, who had some good advice: “For savoury pairings, try it with charcuterie, aged cheeses or rich, fatty dishes like duck confit. The wine shines as an accompaniment to simple desserts like shortbread or spiced bread pudding.” Valued at $220 Donated By Gunter Heinrich Item pickup location: The Belfry Theatre. | $220 |
 | Dessert Wines Trio Hailing from Bordeaux, the 2002 Château La Rame Sainte-Croix-du-Mont is a lush and balanced blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. CellarTracker awarded it 91 points, noting “the medium-bodied palate is more complex, with herbal, honeyed mango, peach, nectarine, and pear notes.” Moving north to the Loire Valley yields the 2015 Château de la Roulerie Coteaux du Layon, which is made entirely from Chenin Blanc that has been botryized (a “good” disease that shrivels the grapes and concentrates the sugars). Wrote Vivino: “Wow, this wine is special. Honey, apricot, dried pineapple, lemon, beeswax, orange peel, and pear. Drink it!” Our tasty tour ends in South Africa with the 1996 Nederburg Noble Late Harvest. With aromas of orange peel, peach, apricot and honey and a similar palate profile, this one’s eager to please. Notes Vivino: “Great, sweet, floral and fruity. I could drink this all night long.” Valued at $85 Donated By Gunter Heinrich Item pickup location: The Belfry Theatre. | $85 |

 | St Martin Chablis Valued at $30 Donated By Caroline Musselli | $30 |
 | Magnum Lot from Vessel Let’s start with the Tibouren Clos Cibonne which, says WineTheory, is “a wonderful expression of an ancient grape from Provence . . . the palate a joy of soft, silky fruits.” In the Jura region of eastern France, Trousseau is a key red varietal. A fine example is the 1996 Domaine Rolet Arbois; according to Vivino, it’s “a ripe, juicy wine with fine tannins intermingling with currants and other red fruit. Flavours and aromas of currants, raspberries and strawberries.” Chinon is a famed commune in the Loire Valley specializing in Cabernet Franc, with Bernard Baudry being the recognized master. His 2018 Chinon clearly excited Vivino: “Incredible value . . . this Chinon is an example of how 100% Cab Franc can make a brilliant wine.” Three very different bottles, three great wine experiences. Magnum force, indeed. Valued at $400 Donated By Vessel Liquor Store | $400 |
 | A Pair of 2013 Peace Riesling Summerhill Icewines 100% organic & biodynamic Riesling Valued at $260 Donated By Chris Smith Item pickup location: The Belfry Theatre. | $260 |
 | Chateau Haut-Baille Grand Cru Classe 2005 "The 2005 Haut Bailly is rapidly turning into a glorious wine. You instantly fall in love with the purity on the nose, luscious red cherries, wild strawberry and blueberry. This is still youthful and beautifully defined. The palate is medium-bodied with quite a structured opening like many in this vintage. It exerts a gentle grip in the mouth, quite tensile and linear and perhaps just tightening up a tad toward the finish. It is biding its time, but it will repay those who cellar this outstanding 2005 for another four or five years. Tasted March 2017." Valued at $250 Donated By Terry Johnson | $250 |
 | Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva 2017 "An ethereal bouquet of violets, cherries, and wood fills the nose. On the palate, it is dry, harmonious, and fruity with a velvety, elegant texture and a long finish. Traditionally, this wine is paired with wild boar, but can accompany any game meat. Also great with aged cheeses. This is a cellar-worthy wine." Valued at $65 Donated By Dennis Bobyn Item pickup location: The Belfry Theatre. | $65 |
 | Chateau 2008 Hosanna Pomerol Their 2008 vintage, a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, clearly bewitched Robert Parker, who wrote: “The outstanding 2008 Hosanna . . . possesses the extraordinary complexity and aromatic intensity of a great vintage of Cheval Blanc. Unctuously-textured with a dense purple colour, excellent richness, and dense black fruits intermixed with forest floor notes . . . the wine’s purity is awesome.” Wine Enthusiast, also a big fan, bestowed 93 points and these comments: “Austere wine, its tannins pushing forward to give power and structure. It is dense, concentrated, with layer upon layer of bitter coffee and dark fruit flavours, acidity, and sweet tannins.” To which added Wine Spectator, “Fig, clove, and tobacco flavours are dark and alluring in this muscular red.” Valued at $400 Donated By Ame de Paoli Item pickup location: The Belfry Theatre. | $400 |

 | St-Remy French Brandy Trio This versatile brandy is carefully aged in small French oak barrels, revealing an intense bouquet of exquisite fruity and floral aromas, accented with subtle tones of vanilla. This aromatic fruity and spicy brandy is perfect for mixing or sipping solo. One bottle of Rémy Martin XO St-Rémy XO is a brandy of distinct character, with elaborate aromas and a rich taste. Elegant and smooth, the intense blend lingers gracefully on the palate. Medium-deep amber in colour it offers aromas of peach apple, pear and vanilla; dry, fruity flavours, and an oaky finish. Valued at $140 Donated By Gunter Heinrich Item pickup location: The Belfry Theatre. | $140 |
 | Cognac Trio D’usse VSOP is quite new on the scene. According to DrinkHacker, the D’usse has “a relatively modest profile: Wood, raisins, orange, with a finish that recalls a few baking spices, particularly nutmeg.” It won a prestigious Double Gold in San Francisco in 2021. Hennessy is one of the world’s best-known Cognac brands; their VSOP “serves the archetypal profile of VSOP. Intense toasted oak notes mingle with caramel, rich golden raisins, and dried apricots. Licorice and vanilla pop out on the finish to provide a sweet send-off.” Courvoisier, much loved for nearly 200 years, is one of the “big four” Cognac houses. Their VSOP, also a medal winner, recently got this praise: “With a nose of sweet Mirabelle plum, toffee, and jasmine, the Cognac displays ripe and dried fruit of black plum, raisins, and Bing cherry, with a spice-laden finish.” Valued at $316 Donated By Gunter Heinrich Item pickup location: Belfry Theatre. | $316 |
 | Aberfeldy 16 yr In the glass, medium amber with burnished copper highlights; forward aromas of butterscotch, vanilla and sweet oak; irresistibly smooth with the toasty flavours of oak well-integrated; citrus and a balanced sweetness on the finish.

 | Poplar Grove 2016 Cabernet Franc Traditional Bordeaux vinification techniques have been used to create an elegant and age-worthy Cabernet Franc. For each of the component lots, bunches were handpicked and sorted in the vineyard. The berries were crushed separately and cold soaked for two days before fermentation. Malolactic fermenta-tion occurred in barrel over the winter and finished in the spring of the following year. The wines from each vineyard lot were kept separate in 30% new oak and a combination of two to three year old French oak barrels for twenty one months. Our Cabernet Franc was further developed in bottle for twelve months prior to release. Ready upon release or cellar up to 10 years.

 | Champagne Duo Moët & Chandon Rosé Imperial Champagne (France) Nothing says, “It’s a party!” quite like French champagne. This dynamic duo starts with Veuve Clicquot, a true classic that is a traditional blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes. According to wine maven Natalie MacLean there are “lime zest, green apple and freshly baked bread aromas on the nose, with a terrific persistence of bubbles on the palate. Why wait for New Year’s?” An equally esteemed sparkler is the Moët & Chandon Rosé Imperial. Once again, Natalie MacLean has tasty comments and advice: “A superb rosé Champagne with aromas of small field strawberries. Crisp and refreshing, with a festive ballet slipper hue. Pair with seafood.” American critic James Suckling is also a fan: “This is brimming with red-berry character and has a striking interplay of tannins, lively acidity and discreet creaminess.” Valued at $169 Donated By Gunter Heinrich Item pickup location: The Belfry Theatre. | $169 |
 | 2005 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut A truly delightful experience is offered by their 2005 “Comtes de Champagne,” which has gotten numerous ratings in the mid-90s, with mouth-watering comments to match. Jeb Dunnuck called it “a deep, rich, full-bodied beauty that packs serious amounts of fruit and texture . . . [with] beautiful mid-palate depth and a great, great finish.” Called “impressive” by Wine Enthusiast, it was also praised for its “elegance, intensity and richness.” Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar had this to say: “Vibrant pear and melon aromas are complicated by suggestions of ginger, brioche and smoky minerals . . . . There’s a Burgundian thing going on here that quite intriguing.” Wine Spectator also laid on the praise: “Shows lovely balance, with a china-like backbone of acidity, finely meshed with a creamy mousse and rich and toasty flavours of roasted hazelnut, creamed apple, lemon parfait and spun honey.” Valued at $280 Donated By Gunter Heinrich Item pickup location: The Belfry Theatre. | $280 |
 | Dom Pérignon Champagne, 1990 (France) Made by Moët & Chandon, Dom Pérignon is one of the most exalted Champagne brands in existence, with the 1990 vintage widely regarded as outstanding. Wrote Robert Parker: “The profoundly rich 1990 Dom Pérignon is a creamy-textured, full styled offering . . . and appears capable of surpassing the fabulous ’85 and ’82.” The more down-to-earth FineWineSelect added, “Intensely fragrant nose with aromas of jasmine, cinnamon buttered toast, stewed apples and preserved ginger. The bubbles are still remarkably frisky and, in harmony with the crisp backbone of acid, make for a relatively youthful, elegant and exquisitely balanced wine. Very long finish.” Valued at $750 Donated By Gunter Heinrich Item pickup location: The Belfry Theatre. | $750 |
