Now that stores shelves are replenished and the holidays are here, re-stocking our own wine fridges seems essential. Here, some late autumn releases and more, just in time for the festive season. —Catherine Dunwoody
Arboleda Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
This spicy Chilean has notes of cherry, herbal hits of rosemary and mint, and a balanced that makes it a suited partner to grilled or roasted meats like beef or pork.
From Vancouver Island, made from Ortega grapes and light tropical fruit notes this sipper is crisp and light, lovely at brunch.

A BC favourite, this semi-dry white blend plays well with white fish in a buttery sauce, fresh oysters, runny cheeses and chicken.

2020 Qwam Qwmt Merlot, 2022 Talon Red Blend, 2022 Qwam Qwmt Chardonnay and 2022 Riesling Ice Wine
Nk’Mip Cellars estate winemaker, Justin Hall, is a proud member of the Osoyoos Indian Band, and has some expert tips for us this season. If your house is warm with the oven running, chill reds in the fridge for ten minutes before serving. No decanter? Just pour those reds back and forth a couple times between glasses to give them a chance to breathe. And Hall believe sage is a secret weapon for roasting meats, and root vegetables, pairing perfectly with white wines.
Township 7 2017 seven stars SIRIUS Late Disgorged
This sparkling beauty has a deep complexity that is softened with bright acidity, making it a perfect playful celebratory sipper this season.

Hey there, I ran into this casіno through a random recommendation and figured I’d give it a shot. After registering on spin granny I played Reactoonz, but the early spins didn’t connect at all. I almost logged off, then tried a higher bet and caught a strong chain reaction that changed the whole outcome. That swing in momentum made it memorable for me.
