- of Williams C.February 3, 2025(Automatically translated) One of the best Japanese whiskies available on the shelves of the SAQ! With floral, vanilla and honey aromas, this product will surprise you with a finish with a light taste of orange zest. A fabulous high-end Japanese whisky to share with friends!
- of Williams C.February 3, 2025(Automatically translated) In my opinion, one of the few 10/10s in Scotch whisky! Beautiful peaty and smoky aromas, both on the nose and on the palate, without too much aggressiveness, unlike some of its colleagues. The only flaw with this product is that it is quite rare in stores. Excellent value for money!
- Not available Online Available In storeof Jonathan B.February 3, 2025(Automatically translated) Parés Baltà presents its Cava Blanca Cusiné, a sparkling wine that can easily compete with a champagne priced over $100. Composed of 80% xarel-lo, and equal parts chardonnay and pinot noir, this cava, aged for more than 80 months, reveals notes of candied, milky and toasted fruit.
- $50.50Not available Online Available In storeof Jonathan B.February 3, 2025(Automatically translated) A Chianti Classico worthy of the Gran Selezione, which will appeal to those looking for aromas of fresh fruit, spices and a subtle woody note on the finish. Fine tannins that will allow the wine to keep for a good ten years without any problem. Perfect with a veal osso bucco, hunter's sauce. Wow!
- Not available Online Available In storeof Eric B.January 29, 2025(Automatically translated) Magnificent 100% Grenache Blanc, this white wine will surprise you with its supple and suave side as well as its aromas of honeydew melon. A real bargain!
- of Jonathan B.September 23, 2024(Automatically translated) A big crush this week, a Barolo vintage that I don't usually have the chance to taste. The Lazzarito gives a straightforward wine, focused on finesse, due to its limestone soil, but has the power to last over time. Lovers of great wines must, in my opinion, get their hands on them.
- of Jonathan B.September 23, 2024(Automatically translated) A rosso di Montalcino that plays in the court of Brunello. Vines of 11 to 17 years, ageing of 9 to 12 months but which puts all its freshness into perspective. Focused on cherry, sweet spices and black fruits. This wine can be drunk now or kept for another ten years.
- of Jonathan B.September 23, 2024(Automatically translated) Sauvignon de Bourgogne often overshadows Chardonnay or even Aligoté, but remains an excellent choice for those who want a light wine, with no residual sugar. Mineral, floral and white fruit aromas. Perfect to start as an aperitif or with your cheeses and cold cuts.
- Not available Online Available In storeof Jonathan B.September 23, 2024(Automatically translated) A Greek wine like no other. This 100% malagousia offers you a bouquet of flowers, citrus fruits and a very long minerality. A little fatty, which for my part, will go well with a fish with fatty flesh or a crustacean with claw. The length in the mouth and its flavors remind me of a wonderful Chablis!
- of Jonathan B.September 23, 2024(Automatically translated) Straight Riesling, a mineral with a background and a hydrocarbon that stands out. This wine brings a very nice acidity (lemon and lime) that will go wonderfully with your oysters, but also with sushi. For those who think Rieslings are sweet, think again, this one is dry.
- of Jonathan B.September 23, 2024(Automatically translated) Rediscovery of this New Zealand wine, 100% sauvignon blanc that doesn't look like a Kim Crawford, but more like a Sancerre. Herbaceous, mineral and slightly acidic notes. A fresh wine that will accompany your lobster with lemon butter. For less than $30, it's worth the detour.
- of Jonathan B.September 23, 2024(Automatically translated) Not everyone who likes orange wines, but you should know that this one hardly reminds you of the others. No bitterness detected, aromas of peach, honey and a mineral finish will accompany your favorite fish. To be discovered without further delay, especially since it looks more like a white wine than an orange
- of Jonathan B.September 23, 2024(Automatically translated) Austria is currently in vogue, you should know that the Grüner Veltliner is its trademark in white. This one charmed me with its depth as much for its aromas of citrus, white fruits and its saline touch. A gourmet wine that will please all those who like to discover new horizons.
- of Jonathan B.September 13, 2024(Automatically translated) Served blind, I would have thought of a Nebbiolo but with freshness and finesse. Tasmanian wines are rare and it's a shame because this one brings a lot of complexity, while remaining straight and firm. Ripe black fruits and a slight note of leather. This wine will appeal to lovers of Burgundy wines.
- of Jonathan B.September 13, 2024(Automatically translated) No more 2nd château wines, now they produce plots. Closer to the 1st wine, a Margaux that offers depth and fine tannins. This gives it a nice acidity and a beautiful red fruit without being marked by wood. Only 20% of the wine has been in barrels, the other 80% in amphora.
- of Jonathan B.September 13, 2024(Automatically translated) Excellent Bordeaux, no it's a Californian wine. Surprise! Claire Lurton, owner of 3 Grands Crus Classés in the Médoc, unveils her USA wine in finesse and elegance. A nice acidity. A roundness with black fruits and a touch of roasting. A 2017 that will please Bordeaux lovers.
- of Jonathan B.August 11, 2024(Automatically translated) Fiano, an Italian grape variety in an Australian wine. What a discovery! Aromas of mango, candied pineapple and a little saline touch. Fresh acidity but not aggressive at all. Will go well with white fish with tropical sauce.
- of Jonathan B.August 11, 2024(Automatically translated) Fabien Jouves is back with an excellent 50/50 Merlot/Malbec with freshness. A well-balanced fruitiness with notes of cherry and red berries. No wood, perfect for deli meats outside when it's 38 degrees Celsius.
- of Jonathan B.July 27, 2024(Automatically translated) For Syrah lovers, you will not be out of place. 36 months of ageing (1/3 concrete, 1/3 amphora and 1/3 in 500-litre oak barrels). Aromas of cherry, raspberry and sweet spices. On the palate: fine tannins, black fruits. Perfect meal: Duck Pithiviers from the Extra Menu.
