Highlander has some amazing clients that have been growing their wine collections for years. So naturally we wanted to start featuring some of their wine rooms! 🍷

We are thinking about featuring some wine cellars on our socials!! Let us know in the comments if you think we should!!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This collection is from a gentleman in Calgary. He has been collecting wine for a little over 35 years and he built this wine room himself. 😳 😍 (swipe to see).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We had the opportunity to ask him a couple questions:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(H): Does your collection focus on any certain types of wine?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
French, Italian, Australian, and some American wines. I would say those regions have been my main focus.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(H): What's one of your favorite bottles right now?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A 1998 Cháteaimeuf du Pape - Dieux Télégraphe. We had it last night and it’s still drinking well. It was complex with earthy notes, you can still pick up fresh blackberry and it had a long, smooth finish.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(H): Do you have any tips for other collectors?
Come up with a system to remember things about the bottles you save. I always print out the Highlander email descriptions when I pick up bottles from them, then I store the description with the bottle, it helps me remember things years later.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And establish a decoder ring ... so only you can find the bottle you’re after 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whether you have been collecting wines for years, months, or are just starting, we have a ton of exclusives, varietals and collectors items in our stores. And if you know of anyone who is an avid collector that we should (anonymously) feature, share this post with them and DM us! We might have a rare bottle of something in it for those who get featured. 🥂🍷

We aren’t ones to judge a beverage by the label but if we did, these would be an easy yes. 😍 😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These 👆 are from our friends at @collectivebrew - they carry a range of options from beer to spirits to ready to drink.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Collective Arts fuses the creativity of craft beverages with the inspired talents of artists from around the world. They feature limited-edition works of art on their labels! Rest assured the liquid on the inside is as diverse and creative as the art on the outside.

Who doesn’t love a good sample pack?! This one from @sheringhamdistillery is a perfect way to try their signature products.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🚨Spoiler alert: they are all fantastic. 🚨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Inspired by the surrounding rainforests and the Pacific ocean Sheringham creates an unmistakably smooth and balanced flavour experience that is reminiscent of the region. This is West Coast gin at its finest!
