From award winning winemaker Carlos Eduardo, QSJB is aged for 9 months in new french oak barrels. This Syrah is deep garnet in color with violet hues. The flavour is intense in macerated fruit and jams, dried plum, dried fig with subtle nuances of toasted spice. Fruity and soft with good structure and a long finish this wine is best paired with Mediterranean cuisine and cured cheeses.

Gekkeikan Black & Gold is a unique blend of two sakes, carefully selected from Sake made with rice milled to 60% and 70 % of its original size for a rich, complex taste. Full-bodied with hints of honeydew, papaya, anise and roasted nuts. It is well balanced, finishes long and smooth. A great sipping Sake. This Sake is versatile and complements duck, grilled chicken and pork, scallops and steamed shellfish dishes.

Coming from vineyards in the higher elevations of Gigondas in the Rhone Valley, this wine is a blend of Syrah and Grenache. Offering cherry, spices and currant on the nose, this wine is medium bodied with spicy fruit flavours complimented by sophisticated tannins and great acidity. This wine is a perfect pairing for roasted duck or any other game meat. This red blend will evolve wonderfully in the cellar for at least five to six years.
