ACES Okanagan Estate Winery release: SEVEN DEUCE and STRAIGHT FLUSH BLUSH
Delivering late June 2011. ACES Players' Club members can pre-order NOW!

Rejoice! Nature has postponed the Ice Age and started dealing decent cards again.
ACES, too, offers you a brilliant new hand. Thanks to your patronage our inaugural wines have sold out. We’ve tripled production, expanded our value labels… and anticipate your delight!

Introducing three new, very attractively priced VQA wines sourced from our select, small-lot varietals, including the reappearance of Seven Deuce Red from winemaker Jason Parkes.

No bluff: our 2009 Seven Deuce Red is actually better than our 2008 (which sold out fast). This vintage is bigger’n big, sourced from Osoyoos small lot Merlot, Shiraz, and ‘Cab’, oak barreled for 16 months and cellarable for 6-8 years. Complement your grilling efforts present and future – but scoop it up now, while you still can. $19.00

2010 Seven Deuce White is refreshing and crisp, an off-dry mélange of Pinot Gris with a splash of Gewurztraminer. Well-chilled, it dances brilliantly with chicken, fish, and shellfish. So flippin’ versatile, it may become this summer’s standby sipper. $19.00

Know the poker chip design on our bottles’ necks? Think pink. 2010 Straight Flush Blush balances Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, with hints of Syrah, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon to deepen the controlled riot of ripe, succulent fruit. Chill it, pour it, and pair it with poultry, seafood, and things nice ‘n spicy. $15.00

Players' Club members can pre-order Seven Deuce White, Seven Deuce Red, and Straight Flush Blush now. One case minimum. Order now at sales@aceswine.ca.

Speaking of enjoyable games, I’m now at the Casino Grand Lisboa in Macau for a couple of weeks, testing my Hold’em skills. Hey, someone’s got to pay the bills!

On behalf of all of us at ACES, cheers to you for knowing winners when you see ‘em.

Appreciatively yours,

Holger Clausen, CEO
