Tannat Day: Celebrating Uruguay’s champion grape
Uruguay may be a small nation, but it has a remarkable history of beating the odds. Uruguay was the first to win the first World Cup in 1930; it uses more renewable energy than most (95% of the electricity it uses is renewable); and it made a champion of the unlikely variety of Tannat.

Although there were home vineyards planted in Uruguay before, the first commercial vineyard was planted by Basque immigrant Pascual Harriague who brought the Tannat vine, native to his Basque home in Europe, and planted it in Salto in northern Uruguay in 1870.

From there it began to spread around the country, originally being known simply as the ‘Harraigue’ grape, after the father of Tannat in Uruguay. Today it has become Uruguay’s most planted variety, claiming over 1,630 hectares, and is planted in all of Uruguay’s wine regions. In an ode to the importance of Tannat for Uruguay, the National Viticulture Institute declared the 14th April as Tannat Day — to mark the day that Harraigue passed away, on 14th April 1894, and his lasting legacy in Uruguay.

The variety is believed to have originated in South West France, where its strong tannic presence is used as the backbone to red blends — rarely vinified by its own. But in the warm, Atlantic climate of Uruguay, Tannat became a star in its own right.

The thick skins of Tannat, which give Tannat its deep colour and make it the healthiest red wine in the world (rich in antioxidants, anthocyanins and resveratrol), ripen well in the warm sunshine, while the mild coastal temperatures mean that Uruguayan Tannat preserves a refreshing acidity and defined aromas of plum, raspberry and spice.

After over 150 years of making Tannat, producers in Uruguay have learnt how to manage the naturally high tannin level of the grape, which is where Tannat gets its name from. With gentle macerations and sensitive winemaking, Uruguayan producers are able to make fresh styles of Tannat that can be enjoyed within a few months of vintage and some of the most youthful styles are unoaked — focusing on the vibrant fruit flavours, energy and freshness of the variety. Included in these youthful styles of Tannat, there are some great examples of Tannat rosé and even sparkling Tannat, proving that this really is a variety of many faces.

The traditional style of Uruguayan Tannat, which is also still popular throughout Uruguay’s wine regions, is a more structured, age-worthy Tannat wine which has been aged in oak barrels for a year or more. These wines can often cellar well for well over a decade, and in many of the older family cellars around Uruguay you can uncork Tannat wines from the 80s and 90s which show the fantastic potential of this wine for ageing.

Whether you are choosing to have a chilled glass of Tannat rosé in the garden, or a warming glass of hearty, well-aged Tannat by the fireplace, we invite you to raise a glass to the champion grape of Uruguay.

Happy Tannat Day!

SGS has this great Tannat wine for Tannat Day!!!
Garzón Tannat 2020
Deep purple in colour, this Tannat fresh aromas reminiscent of red and black fruits such as plums and raspberries on a spice-flavoured aroma. It has a great personality in mouth. Its ripe tannins and its minerality make it a terroir wine of great identity.

Another ALL Canadian sale this week! No matter if its health food, junk food or comfort food, Canadians make great food! And these four companies prove it!

Yeshi Dressing:
What started as a conversation at home is now a favourite at farmers markets and grocery stores around BC and Alberta. Yeshi is a nutritional yeast based dressing that's fit for gluten free and vegetarian diets. Slightly sweet and creamy, it has the subtle flavours of garlic blended with tangy and nutty undertones, you’ll find there's a Yeshi flavour for every dish!

Vachon Cakes:
Vachon. The very name ignites joy in our hearts and tummies. And who doesn’t love a delectable snack cake? Folks young and old, appetites big and small—there’s a Vachon® cake for that. Adored by all Canadians, but particularly revered in Quebec, Vachon® has been tempting taste buds for generations with its rebel yell: Eat joy!

Chasers Juice:
Chasers Fresh Juice Vancouver has evolved from its humble beginnings as an 800 square foot juice shop in Yaletown back in 2013, into a formidable force within British Columbia's beverage industry. Today, we stand tall as one of the largest Cold Press Juice Manufacturers and suppliers in the province.

Bassili's Best:
The Bassili’s Best brand was established by the Bassili’s family over 35 years ago in Edmonton, Alberta. Passionate about food and family, the Bassili’s family greatly valued time shared over a meal. A constant favourite among all family members was lasagna, which was often referred to by the family as the “best” meal of the week. As the kids became busier with after-school activities, the Bassili’s family realized that making lasagna from scratch was no longer conducive to their busy lifestyle. It was during these years they realized the need for wholesome, nutritious and high quality frozen meals. After making and freezing home-made lasagna on various occasions, the family realized the potential to sell these convenient family favourites to the general public. Shortly thereafter the Bassili’s family invested in a manufacturing facility to produce and sell their meals and the rest is history!

🎼🎶I got chills, they're multiplying
And I'm losing control
There's still power Hydro's supplying
It's electrifying (electrifying)

I better warm up
'Cause I need some wood
And my wood piles covered in snow
I better warm up
You don't understand

I can't reach my wood pile its true
Nothin' left, nothin' left for me to do
Pressed logs are what I want (Pressed logs are what I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
Pressed logs are what I want (Pressed logs are what I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
Pressed logs are what I want (Pressed logs are what I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The one's I need (the one's I need)
Oh, yes, indeed (yes, indeed)

SGS now has pressed logs in stock! Skip the wood pile and all that extra cleaning! Pressed Logs are clean, uniform in size, and burn consistently. With fire logs, you don't have to worry about the hassle of hauling wood into your home bringing in bugs, bark or dirt along with it. Compressed wood fire logs can be stored in your home with little to no mess reducing your "trips to the woodpile." Pressed fire logs also produce less than 1% ash which makes clean up quick and easy!

As I write this, it's Saturday and customers keep coming in and saying its snowing. Yet every time I look its sunny. I'm beginning to think some of you have some dirty windows that need cleaning. Well you are in luck, this week glass cleaner is on sale!

NEW IN STORE!
My first experience with fermented pickles has made me realize these must be sold here. So may I present...
BUBBIES KOSHER DILL PICKLES
The pickles that made her famous, Bubbies Kosher Dill Pickles are naturally-fermented raw, creating her signature cloudy brine. Sour and crunchy, these traditional pickles contain no vinegar or sugar and are preservative-free and Non-GMO.

Dill pickles are the most popular pickles of the bunch and, as you might have guessed, they get their name because of their distinct dill flavor. They are a popular gluten-free fermented food and kitchen staple. The gut-healthy qualities provide an abundance of health benefits, especially in providing healthful probiotics.

In addition to a healthy snack, our Kosher certified dill pickles pair well with a burger, hotdog, egg salad, BLT, cheeseburger, Bloody Mary, grilled cheese, Cuban sandwich, quesadilla, falafel, and more. They can even be paired with fish, stand alone as a fried pickle appetizer, or compliment your most elaborate charcuterie board.

You'll love Bubbies pickles and pickle juice because they offer endless possibilities for every meal.
If you are a Bubbies Pickles fan then you are most likely familiar with our signature cloudy brine full of tart flavor and spices. If you are new to traditional fermentation or have picked up a jar of our pickles and wondered why the juice wasn’t clear, or bright green, don’t fret.

This is totally normal, and here’s why: FERMENTATION!

Bubbies Kosher Dill Pickles, as well as our sauerkrauts, green tomatoes, and relish, are naturally fermented in water with salt and spices. Cloudy brine is a natural by-product of the fermentation process and it tastes delicious! The cloudiness is a combination of lactic acid and yeast and is the reason why they call it Lactofermentation.

Why Does This Happen?
Various strains of bacteria are present on the surface of all plants, especially ones growing close to the ground, like pickles! Lactobacillus bacteria converts sugars into lactic acid, preserving the pickle. Lactic acid prevents the growth of harmful bacteria. Over time the cloudiness can settle out of the brine to the bottom of the jar and on the tops of the Pickles or Tomatoes. Some batches are naturally cloudier than others, but all are safe to consume and taste delicious. Shake Until Cloudy and Enjoy!

Cloudy brine is a sign that you have a safe, successful, and tasty ferment. Even after all the pickles are gone and you have a jar of delicious brine leftover, don’t toss it!

Our brine is delicious in salad dressings, tuna, and egg salad, but a lot of people like to drink it straight out of the jar!

Find them in the refrigerated section.
