A huge challenge in Calgary is the process of degassing wine after it has been stabilized. We have encouraged our clients to use the Vacuvin system which creates a vacuum in the carboy sucking out the CO2. Exclusive only to The Home Vintner - after years of searching for an automatic system, Paul has found an electric degassing unit. The staff have been busy testing them by degassing their own wine - Ron tested it on the weekend by degassing two wines at the same time. As with our wine filters, these units are available exclusively for our clients. Rental is $10 for the first 24 hours and then $5 a day. Green Apple Sparkling Wine Cooler 
The flavour sensation of biting into a crisp, crunchy green apple, with a pleasant tartness followed by a delicious juicy finish. Natural apple flavours blend perfectly with the lively apple notes that are one of Riesling's delightful trademarks. Clean, cool and crisp - a wonderful balance of apple flavour with the slight acidity and firm character of the Riesling grape. Selection International French Rosé 
Our seasonal release Selection International French Rosé is a crisp, off-dry rosé from Southern France. An extremely food friendly wine, the pairing possibilities run the gamut from light salads to spicy meats from the grill - definitely a wine to keep well-stocked and ready all summer. Serve chilled. Don't miss out on this great rosé, supplies are limited and they won't last long. WINE RECOMMENDATION - NEW ECLIPSE LODI RANCH 11 WITH GRAPE SKINS 
This Californian Cabernet has been my house wine for over 12 years. This is Murray's personal favorite! I will always remember coming into the NW store and watching him kick the box and say "Buy this one". Thanks Murray, you are a great friend, hope you will be able to attend this years Limited wine tasting next week. Rich fruit and complex structure dazzle from first aroma to long, refined finish. 
Think about hand crafting an Innis & Gunn, Black Pilsner, Stout, or Belgian Wit to name a few. With the use of our Barons Beer kits, our add-on packs and liquid yeast, you can create any of these great beers. For any of you who were burned on a beer kit in the past, concluded that all beer kits were the same and gave up on home brewing, now is the time to give it another try. You will be impressed, we guarantee it! Using The Home Vintner Wine Filter 
Adding "polish" to a wine's appearance is the number one reason home winemakers elect to filter their wines. It adds a glassy and pure look to the wine that is simply appealing. Filtration will not make a cloudy wine become clear. That is not its purpose. |
