🍺Luminosity German Pils🍺from @cabinbrewing is a delicious, easy-drinking lager crafted in the German brewing tradition – which is what we are sipping on today! 🍻

It’s crisp, dry and has long-lasting bready malt notes. You’ll notice delightful spicy and floral aromas and a low to medium bitterness that slowly builds as you drink. Hold it to the light and you’ll see the most glorious, gentle golden hue.

Stock up online, or swing by any of our locations and find it in the beer fridge!

If you are looking to transition to Fall wines 🍂, we suggest a beautiful Grenache Rosé. With our crisp mornings and warm sunny afternoons right now in Alberta, these are perfect for sipping on since they are refreshing and have beautiful aromas of red fruits.

While most associate Rosé as a summer wine, these picks are great for aperitifs and for light starter courses like leafy salads with fall fruits, salmon dishes and poultry.

Swipe left to discover some of this week's suggestions. Shop these bottles in-store on online!

LAPIS LUNA (“Rare Blue Moon”) has been making world-class wines from some of the finest and lesser known California vineyards.

This Rosé has strong aromas of watermelon, cantaloupe, cherry and bubblegum and are cut by a clay minerality on the nose of this Grenache-based bottling. The palate is soft with peach-blossom and more bubblegum flavors.

Pairs well with grilled fish, chicken,
salads as well as a variety of cheeses including fresh goat cheese, feta, and ricotta.

Shop this as well as our wide range of rose in-store now!

This BelliFolli Insolia (exclusive to Highlander) is fresh with lively acidity and persistent structure. It’s the perfect party wine; pair it with appetizers and fresh cheese.

With notes of citrus fruit, jasmine aromas, and the typical greenish-yellow colour of Insolia, it has inspired the label showing a reassuring and serene face, which suggests fragrance and balance.

This wine will keep bringing you back for another sip...✨

From husband and wife team Stewart and Athena Boedecker, this Northwest Portland, Oregon wine was reared using minimal intervention techniques. Every stage of the process is done by hand, including harvesting, sorting, punching down, and racking. The team at Boedecker tastes, blends, then tastes some more — aging their Pinot Noirs for a year-and-a-half then releasing the wines six months to a year later. Which is why you’ll find this elegant bottle of Pinot is so richly layered yet not overly complex,

Pairs beautifully with beef, fresh and soft cheeses, chicken, fish and cured meats!

Shop this and many more Pinot Noirs in-store and on our website! 🍷

We are sharing some local love today ❤️🙌🏼. One of our favourite Vodkas this summer has been Flourish Vodka from @eauclairecraft . This Vodka is carefully handcrafted using #Alberta barley steeped in limestone-rich Canadian Rockies glacial melt.

Ultra-clean crisp in taste, it’s an exquisite companion to any cocktail or perfect on the rocks. Whether you’re hosting a cocktail party or relaxing in the sunshine, Flourish Vodka was made for getting together with community and flourishing in the warm weather.

Purchase now in-store or shop our selection of Vodka online!

We found this small production Napa Cabernet that’s not submitted for reviews and ratings and were blown away by the quality and the price. If you are looking for a rich, structured and complex Napa Valley Cab that features loads of dark berry fruit, hints of chocolate, spice and plenty of savoury character, then this is a wine you should buy by the case.

Pairs perfectly with beef, lamb and mature cheeses!

This Halsfield 2018 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is available in-store, or for purchase online by using the link in bio!

This Valle dell’Acate Bellifolli Rosato Di Frappato has become a customer favourite this summer, and it's exclusive to Highlander and @bin905wines

Pleasantly fruity with notes of rose and pomegranate, it's elegant, fresh and savoury. Rich in aromas of small red fruits, it pairs perfectly with fish or delicately flavoured dishes, shellfish, and fresh cheeses. Also excellent as an aperitif!

This heat wave is really something, isn't it? There is nothing better in this warm weather than a simple summer salad and a glass of crisp white wine!

When pairing your summer garden salads, opt for a tart, zingy white like a Sauvignon Blanc or an Albariño. Using a vinegar-based salad dressing will actually bring out the fruitiness of the wine!

Shop our selection of summer whites using the link in bio!
