Cru Select California Pinot Noir
California brings together the best of vine and sea. Sit back, relax and embody Califor-
nian lifestyle with this easy drinking wine that is sure to impress.
Recognized as a premier grape growing region, California is known for intensely flavour-
ful Pinot Noirs. Medium to full-bodied, this wine presents a bouquet of rich tobacco,
ripe blackberries and spices. The palate is treated to a heady experience of dark cherries,
a hint of oak and velvety tannins.

Grand Cru International South African Chenin Blanc
Called Steen when grown in South Africa, this graceful wine is light-bodied
with a pale straw colour. The fruity scented nose has hints of green apple and
lemon with a subtle floral bouquet rounding out the nose. On the palate the
wine is delightfully refreshing.
Oak: 0 - Body: 2 - Sweetness: 0
Additional Info
Pair your GCI South African Chenin Blanc with a lobster roll, grilled shrimp or Caesar salad.!
Cru Select Italian Pinot Grigio
Found in the heart of every town in Italy, a piazza is where locals and tourists alike
gather to enjoy a glass of wine and unwind after the stress of the day. It is similar
to the town square North Americans are more familiar with. Italian culture is em-
bodied by social gatherings and their love for food and wine.
Exquisite balance of citrus fruit and acidity is the foundation for this ever popular
Italian white wine. The bouquet reveals bright citrus and green apple aromas with
honeydew tones. The balanced acidity gives it a great refreshing and crisp quality,
with a touch of light spice. Medium to full bodied, it makes a great pre-dinner sipper or a refreshing wine on a hot afternoon.
Oak: 0 - Body: 4 - Sweetness: 1
Additional Info
The Cru Select Italian Pinot Grigio is a perfect wine to enjoy with cedar plank grilled salmon, steamed mussels or chicken
Florentine.

In addition to the southwest, North Carolina, New York,
Oregon and Washington are also producing some incredible
Zinfandel wines.
Because red Zinfandel wines tends to be a powerful, robust
wine, it tends to pair well with hearty meat dishes, heavy pas-
tas, pizza, and intensely flavoured cheeses like aged cheddar
and parmesan.We offer the following Zinfandel wines:
Heritage Estates White Zinfandel - $55
Grand Cru Zinfandel Blush - $70
GCI Italian Primitivo- $79
GCI California White Zinfandel - $79
Cru Select Old Vine Zinfandel - $100
CCWS Old Vine Zinfandel - $122
Spotlight on ZinfandelThe taste of a red Zinfandel wine is
largely affected by the ripeness of
the grapes from which the wine iscreated. Cooler climate Zinfandel
wines are often associated with
wines with a red berry like flavor
such as raspberry. Warmer climate
Zinfandel wines typically have fla-
vours of blackberry, anise and pep-
per!
Zinfandel is the mostly widely
known grape variety in California,
but many people are surprised to
learn that the US Southwest states
such as Arizona, Colorado, New
Mexico, Nevada, and Texas also
grow Zinfandel grapes.
Zinfandel is a red grape variety
that is widely planted in Califor-
nia vineyards. Surprisingly, Zin-fandel is the genetic equivalent to
Primitivo
Many folks associate Zinfandel
wines with sweet blush wines
originating from California; how-
ever, Zinfandel grapes can actu-
ally produce a robust, hearty red
wine that can pack quite the
punch. The high sugar content
in Zinfandel grapes can be fer-
mented into a wine that can ex-
ceed 15% alcohol.
Ingredients:
3 tbsp butter, plus more as needed
10 ounces white mushrooms sliced
1/2 to 1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
4 (10-inch) flour tortillas
8 oz Monterey jack cheese
2 oz crumbled feta cheese
Sour cream, cilantro, salsa to garnish
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line
a baking sheet with aluminum foil.Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in me-
dium skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, shake pan to dis-
tribute evenly, & cook without moving until the mushrooms begin to
brown, about 5 minutes. Do not salt. Add remaining tbsp butter along
sides of pan if pan seems dry. Toss mushrooms, & continue to cook until
nicely browned. Season mushrooms with the chili powder & salt & cook 1
minute more. Stir in the cilantro & set aside.
Toast tortillas directly on a medium gas burner, turning occasionally until
slightly blistered on each side. (If you have an electric burner, do this in a
dry cast iron skillet.) Place tortillas on prepared baking sheet. Spread jack
cheese on one half of each tortilla, top with some of the mushrooms, and
sprinkle with feta. Fold other half of the tortilla over the filling, to make a
half moon shape. Lay another sheet of foil over the quesadillas. Bake until
the cheese melts, about 12 minutes. Serve whole or sliced into wedges,
with optional garnishes.
