![]() We are starting the New Year with Coyote’s Run Estate Winery of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Our Sommeliers have been working hard (tough job we know!) finding wines to feature in the 2016 line-up for Savvy Selections. Time definitely does fly when you are having fun. It is easy & only takes a matter of a couple of days for delivery from the winery to you. This winery makes small batch wines, so if you find a wine that you enjoy, give our Savvy Team a call on 613-SAVVYCO (728-8926) to arrange an order for you. You’ll be hard pressed to find Redstone’s striking orange foiled bottled on a shelf at the LCBO or Vintages.
