We think the answer is pretty clear, but are you team tea or team whisky? 🥃 🫖
Some people call us their “partners in wine”, some their “spirit guides”, others call us BAE Grab a glass and gather ‘round – this is a good one! Cheers Calgary!

The journey to Rocky Mountain Wine Spirits Beer began nearly 20 years ago when our owners started the Rocky Mountain Wine & Food Festival and later took on Winefest. Fast forward to today, we want to bring incredible drinks you can cheers to all year round – not just on Festival weekends. Now, you may be wondering, why open a liquor store? So we can drink wine all day, of course! Just kidding…kind
of. In all seriousness, we wanted to start a community; a place to come and hang out, talk about your favourite drinks, discover new ones, and maybe learn a few things in the process. Because let’s be honest, we’ve spent way too much time taste-testing products not to share our knowledge and some of the world’s best products with you. We're stocking 1000+ wines at every price point, 500 beers with a large focus on craft varieties, and a spirits selection to create everything from an Old Fashioned to a Bellini. We focus on providing excellent customer service and a fantastic selection. Nothing is put on the shelf unless it passes a taste test. We stand behind our products – if your newly purchased bottle was a party crasher, don’t be shy about it. Bring it back and we’ll get you something else to try.
We think the answer is pretty clear, but are you team tea or team whisky? 🥃 🫖
The bad news is we woke up to a bunch of very heavy, wet snow today. The good news is we have the perfect whisky on deck for this week’s to combat the never ending Alberta winter.
Laphroaig 10- noted for its definitive peat, this smoky, full-flavoured single malt entices you with hints of seaweed, rich peat, and a surprising sweetness 🥃

If you need us this weekend we will be obsessing over this new stunner from the amazing winemaker, Aline Beauné.
