Frank’s Top Picks for August 2025

Written By Eric .

Frank’s Personal Note

Hello everyone,

August in the Fraser Valley is all about enjoying the last long, warm days of summer. This month, I'm excited to share some brand-new arrivals that are perfect for the season. I've selected a stunning French rosé that's ideal for sipping on the patio, a timeless gin for the perfect G&T, and a true classic of the beer world for your next BBQ.

These are some fantastic additions at the value you expect from us.

Miraval ‘Studio’ Rosé

Why I Picked It:

"You can't talk about summer wine without talking about rosé from Provence, and Miraval is one of the most famous names out there. Their 'Studio' rosé is brand new to our stores, and it's a real treat. It's incredibly elegant and refreshing—everything you want on a warm August afternoon. A truly beautiful wine."

Miraval ‘Studio’ Rosé

  • Price: $16.98 / 750ml

  • Tasting Notes: Delicate notes of fresh red berries, citrus, and a hint of white flowers.

  • Perfect Pairing: Excellent on its own, or with a light summer salad or grilled fish.

Tanqueray London Dry Gin

Why I Picked It:

"You can't go wrong with a true classic, and Tanqueray London Dry is the benchmark for a reason. We've just brought in this larger 1.14L bottle, which is perfect for stocking up your home bar for any occasion. It's my go-to for a crisp, clean, and perfectly balanced gin and tonic. There's a reason this recipe hasn't changed since the 1830s—it's nearly perfect."

Tanqueray London Dry Gin

  • Price: $37.98 / 1.14L

  • Tasting Notes: Perfectly balanced with distinct notes of juniper, a hint of citrus peel, and a clean, dry finish.

  • Perfect Pairing: The ultimate Gin and Tonic with a wedge of fresh lime.

Budweiser Lager

Why I Picked It:

"When it comes to stocking up for a big game or a weekend with friends, you can't beat the value of a 30-pack. Budweiser is the 'King of Beers' for a reason—it's a reliable classic that's perfect for any occasion. It's the ultimate crisp, clean, and refreshing lager for a crowd, and it's a perfect fit for our 'Pay Less Forever' philosophy."

Budweiser Lager Beer

  • Price: $41.98 / 30 pack cans

  • Tasting Notes: Smooth and crisp with a clean, classic American lager flavour.

  • Perfect Pairing: The perfect beer for pizza, wings, or anything off the grill.

I hope you get a chance to enjoy some of my new selections this month. You can find the full list on our Top Picks page, and as always, our knowledgeable staff at all 6 of our locations are happy to chat and help you find the perfect bottle.

Cheers!
