Wine of the Week

Morande Pionero Cabernet Sauvignon


This excellent value Cabernet Sauvignon is full of blackcurrant flavours with notes of other dark berry fruit. It's smooth and has a touch of vanilla on the finish, and is all together a great example of a Chilean Cabernet. This will pair well with any grilled red meat dish, so even on a cold day, fire up the Barbecue and relax with this trophy winner at the Wine and Spirit magazine awards!

Beer of the Week

Fuller's Vintage Ale 2010
This beer is a classic and is presented in a handsome red gift box; each bottle is also numbered as there is a limited amount brewed once each year.This is a Strong Ale with complex notes of caramel, butterscotch and earthy hop notes. The best thing to do  is to buy a few and age it. Vintages made ten years ago, properly stored are drinking beautifully now, displaying ever developing complex notes. Like a fine wine this ale is one to save and savour. Start your collection of age-worthy beers with this London beauty.

Boony Doon Vineyard




There are some fairly esoteric techniques included in the Bonny Doon Cannon.

“Bonny Doon has always been an innovator and always pushed the envelope.” Thinking back on all that they have accomplished. It dooned on them that what they needed to do was harness all of the great innovative and experimental zeal that is the company’s forte...and channel it into a clear precise direction.

“The wines their making now are vibrant, soulful that’s the only way I can describe them”
The Cigare Volant in recent vintages has been awesome concentrated and elegant and most significantly, age worthy.

Since early 2004 they have practiced strict adherence to biodynamic viticulture practices.
They believe these practices give them the best opportunity to produce the distinctive and interesting-in a word the best wines possible.

They also get a number of artist to do their lables.

Now avaible at Firefly Maple Ridge
Le Cigare Blanc 2008-57% Rousanne,43% Grenache blanc
This wine is sturdy in pome fruit, Asain pear and quince with suggestions of honeydew and lime blossom,caradmom and liliac. Beautiful balanced.
Le Cigare Volant 2006-43% Syrah, 43% Grenache, 11% Cinsault. Making for a bright and wonderfully gamey wine. Very youthful with toasty notes of cherry,birch, sassafras and pommergrante.
Syrah Le Pousseur 2007-White Pepper, Bacon fat, violets, anise and licorice.
