Tomato Wheels Lambrusco

Moirae Choquette is a Canadian Indigenous entrepreneur and public speaker.  In 2021 she saw that there was a gap in the market and opportunity to bring a wine she loved to the Canadian market.  She partnered with Canadian sommelier Brad Royale to create Tomato Wheels Lambrusco.  They sought out a fourth generation family owned and operated vineyard in Emilia-Romagna to bring their vision to fruition.  Tomato Wheels is a successful collaboration between a passionate entrepreneur, a creative sommelier and a family of dedicated vignerons.

Coldstream - Chilly Pop 12pk

Coldstream Clear Distillery is a family owned and operated spirits producer in central Nova Scotia. The family tradition of distilling dates back to 1749 when Mr. Simon Giffin moved from Northern Ireland to Halifax to practice his trade as a distiller. Simon’s grave is located just a few blocks from the Bishops Cellar retail store in the Old Burying Ground on Barrington Street. The fascinating process of fermenting and distilling quality spirits has been picked up by the family more than 9 generations later. Today’s products include a unique handcrafted line of rum, vodka, and liqueurs which focus on exceptional taste while making use of an abundance of local ingredients.
