The Popped Cork

I’m sorry I have been quite absent on here. I have had a couple of deaths in the family. I will be going away the 26-31 to attend a funeral, if you have an appointment with me I will be calling you to reschedule. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please note: our phone line is down during the power outage.

Power restoration for us is now showing 3pm

Our store is currently closed due to the power outage!

Power is out in the Edson area. Nearly 1000 customers impacted. Fortis is responding. ETA for restoration is 1pm at this point but that may change as more details are known. Remember to treat any signalized intersections with lights out as 4 way stops.

I’m a better graphic designer & vintner than I am an artist 🤣

Let’s go Oilers!! Open until 3 today!

Hello everyone!

Just a heads up, we are receiving some more price increases from some of our services which may affect our appointments software & website. They are increasing our fees by 128.57%. This is not at all feasible! So we will be looking to switch over our software and build a new website. Please bear with me while this process is being completed as it may take some time.

My apologies for any inconvenience, I am trying my best to keep my costs down to keep your price down as well but we all know in today's economy our prices just keep going up.

Please shop local and help support the small businesses in your community whenever possible.

Thank you,
Jennifer Hellekson, Owner

Cool California

California's diverse landscape provides plenty of cool climate locales for this delicate grape to grow and it is commonly planted in coastal regions or valleys where cool Pacific breezes and morning for moderate the temperature. California Pinot Noir is known for vibrant red fruit flavours and bright acidity, making it a popular choice for rosé production throughout the state.

Premium Pinot Noir Rosé

Delicate aromas of red berries, melon and rose petal. Bright acidity and tangerine undertones accentuate the strawberry, raspberry, and watermelon flavours of this crisp and refreshing rosé, while a light mineral note adds depth. Serve chilled.

Food Pairing

An incredibly food-friendly wine, the lightness and fruit flavours make it a great option for everything from sushi to barbecue. Try with roasted chicken, creamy pasta dishes, quiche with asparagus and gouda, or chicken tacos.

Country: California
Colour: Blush
Sweetness: Off-Dry
Oak: None
Body: Medium
Alcohol: 12%

Labels Included

Merry Christmas to everyone. May your holiday be filled with love and happiness.

Jenn & Murry

As a small “unique” business, we struggle, especially around the holidays. It’s very hard for us to give back to our community if you don’t support our small businesses.

This Christmas, why not give the gift of an experience? Bring a family member, spouse, sibling or a friend and make your own wine cooler, wine, beer or cider to share!

Come have fun making a batch and learn about the care that goes into every kit we help you make. Share a batch with as many people as you want or make a couple batches to have a variety for 2024!

Do you have a wedding coming up next year? Wow your guests with something tasty on every table or as a gift to your guests with a custom designed label on your bottles!

We also have gift cards available! Don’t forget your passport to Christmas stamp cards, every $10 gets you a stamp towards some great prizes.

Need a stocking stuffer? We have some Rotary Coupon books in store, beautiful hand made wine stoppers, Brümate products and more!

Open today, Saturday Dec 16, 10-5

I will also be going live today to pick our contest winner. Thanks to everyone who entered!

Some of you have inquired about Port Style Wine Kits.

We have 2 in stock! These have become very popular and go very quickly! Call now to book in to make one.

This port style wine will impress the most discerning drinker. It is bursting with flavor. One taste of La Bodega and it reveals its multidimensional complexity, ripe black cherries with hints of chocolate and dark roasted coffee. La Bodega’s flavor is matched with dark toasted French Oak in order to heighten your experience.

We also have 2 Chocolate Mocha Dessert Kits available. How about a fun experience making your own for the holidays?

Open until 2 pm today.

Holiday Hours!

There is still some time to come shopping before Christmas. We have some gift cards, kits, glasses, hoodies and more!

Don't forget your Passport to Christmas Stamp Cards!
