Thanksgiving is a time for sharing good times, good meals, and great wine! And we want to make sure that you are treating your guests to some excellent wine to pair perfectly with your Thanksgiving meal!
Jackson Triggs Riesling Gewurztraminer
Tasting notes: Pale lemon; peach dominates here with accents of lychee, lime zest, mineral and floral; off-dry with a lingering mineral finish.
Pairs well with: Turkey!! It also pairs well with any fruitier side dishes and is very versatile with all types of food.
Ravenswood Zinfandel
Tasting notes: Big Bold and unappologetic! This wine has aromas of black cherry, raspberries, and blueberries, with hints of oak.
Pairs well with: Turkey with cranberry sauce. It also pairs well with heavier, strong flavored dishes such as sweet potatoes, stuffing and mashed potatoes.
Apothic Red
Tasting notes: A masterful blend of rich Zinfandel, smooth Merlot, flavorful Syrah and bold Cabernet Sauvignon creates layers of dark red fruit complemented by hints of vanilla and mocha.
Pairs well with: As Apothic is a sweeter red wine, it can be used much the same as Port so feel free to serve this wine with your favorite Thanksgiving dessert!
When pairing wine, the most important thing to remember is to pair them with things that you love!
*All wines featured are available for sale at our Berezan Online Store
This month, B’s Eatery & Public House, located in both Chances Castlegar and Chances Salmon Arm, is featuring Apothic Wine. This ‘spooky’ wine is perfect for enjoying in the month of October!
Apothic White is a luscious off dry wine with a hint of sweetness. A blend of Chardonnay, Riesling, and Moscato.
Apothic Red features intense fruit flavors and aromas. A blend of Zinfandel, Cabernet, Merlot, and Syrah.
Apothic Dark is also on sale in our many liquor store locations this month!
Last week Chances Castlegar celebrated it’s 4th anniversary with a big party. Hot dogs and hamburgers were available by donation to raise funds for the Rock Creek Fire Victims. Thanks to the generosity of Chances Castlegar’s amazing patrons, they raised $648.10! Terrim Properties Ltd. matched those donations, allowing us to make a donation to the Red Cross of $1296.20 for the benefit of the fire victims.
Our thoughts go out to all of those affected by the fire.
We have some very exciting events coming soon to B’s Craft Beer Lounge!
Friday, September 25th, 2015 – Fuggles & Warlock Cask Event
We will be tapping the last cask of Fuggles & Warlock Strawberry Wit. This beer was a huge hit at the Great Canadian Beer Fest, with easily the longest lines! We will be tapping the cask at 4pm and will have 2 glass sizes for this tasting event. Don’t miss out on this delicious beer that is brewed with fresh strawberries.
Friday, October 2nd, 2015 – Cascade Brewing Event
Cascade Brewing is a company from Portland, Oregon that specializes in brewing sour beers. We think the beer they brew is awesome and want to share them with you in a way that isn’t as expensive as purchasing the bottles individually.
The details:
- We have 8 different Cascade sours ranging in price from $34-$39
- For this event we will be offering 3oz samples of each beer.
- Tickets are $40 and must be purchased at the lounge.
- There is limited seating space, so we will be selling tickets for 3 different time slots during the day.
We hope you will come and join us!

As of April 1, 2015, the B.C. Liquor Laws underwent changes that had many of our customers wondering what that means for the future of shopping at Berezan Liquor Stores. In order to make the transition as transparent as possible for our customers, we are committed to Best Practices that offer our customers a clear message “The Price We Display is the Price You Pay”. As we have done for many years, our final price including taxes can be found to the left of our price stickers above the barcode. This is the total price that our customers pay at the cash registers. To the right of our price stickers we clearly display the cost of the product before taxes and deposits. We are dedicated to customer satisfaction and pledge to make this shift in provincial laws simple and smooth for our loyal customers.
