Both main floor and the basement house hundreds of bottles of wine from around the world. The bottles are beautifully displayed. The country of origin and the price are clearly indicated. Here you will find wine priced at anywhere from $20 to $300. There are rieslings, pinot grigios, barolos and lots,lots more. Wine Cellar also carries a very good selection of champagne. Real champagne from France, not the sparkling wine stuff. I will definitely buy a bottle for my husband's next birthday. It will be a splurge but hey, how often does one get to drink real champagne? If you know and like your wine, this place will make you happy.

You can find virtually anything here in some unique flavours including special limited edition drinks. They have bottles for every budget. The staff really know their stuff inside out and around. They host wine tasting events throughout the month including free ones. The ones I've been to have been pretty good and reasonably priced. Usually you sample 7-8 wines and they provide very light snacks to go with it (cheese, bread, and deli meat). Sometimes they have pricier events in which I believe you get decent appies. Depending on the person pouring your wine you can get very lucky or unlucky with the amount you receive.

Really impressed with the beer selection as well. Nice, clean family run store.

They are so helpful, so fun and so focused on helping you find your perfect brew. They have jugs along the back wall where the Kegs are located, so you can try out a draft or two and then take a jug of it home with you - I believe it stays fresh for quite a while too, as long as it is sealed properly. They have tastings classes and beer nights. Invite beer and liquor reps in for events. A big shout out to the Beer Geeks! The selection of liquor is also very good as is the wine. Last time I was in they had a table up front of *sale vino! I assume this is to get older stock out of the way/make room for new vintages. What ever the reason, I love picking up a great bottle and getting a deal! It is very conveniently located for all of us who live on the South Side. Just off the Whytemud on 99th before it turns into Parsons Road. My only gripe... Twice I have showed up on a Sunday, forgetting they are closed ;p

However, I'm not a wine drinker, so it didn't really feel like a good deal for me. I would've rathered they include the apron instead. The class runs from 6-9pm, which was a little on the later side for me to really want to eat, but I guess when you're running a class on a weekday, you have to accommodate work end times. Class is in a conveniently located Grant Macewan building, and it includes parking in the campus parkade across the street. The classroom is very nice. There's a large family style table and then the kitchen area. The set up of the class itself is a little awkward. We sat around the kitchen prep area, which would've benefited from some mirrors so we can see what the instructor was doing. They do have cameras behind the instructor, but then the TV screens are located behind you, which really doesn't help much at all unless you keep turning around to look at it. The instructor did encourage students to come around and watch, but after a long day at work, sitting and watching is more preferable.. The instructor was good, very informative. The other kitchen staff were nice as well. It was a fun experience, and they offer a variety of classes, it's just the price point is a little on the higher side compared to other cooking classes offered in the city. Take out boxes are provided if you have leftovers or want to share what you've made. Recipes from the class are also provided.

Friends and I stopped by for happy hour- select pints of beer are on special for $5. I tried the Mangolorian and Main Squeeze. They were so refreshing! I like that they offer some inexpensive snacks, like popcorn. The decorations are interesting too! It's fun to look at all of the labels that the brewery has used. Alley Kat supports the community, which is important to me. During the Alberta Teachers' Strike, they offered a free pint. Thank you, you are appreciated!

I saw many familiar faces from previous events Alley Kat had served at including the fabulous Kristin :-) What's not to love about my beer name doppleganger who also loves kats and wears kat prints? MeOwSeRs!!! I digress... Alley Kat was warm and inviting from the moment we arrived at 5PM. They had freshly made soft pretzels on hand along with cheese and meat nibbles to compliment the launch. Now, let's get to the good stuff... The BEER! Hubby and I were on cloud 9 that our favourite Alley Kat Beer - Freshly Squeezed (with real grapefruit) was still on tap and EVEN BETTER they had 4 packs of it for sale! Our local liquor store only had it in a combo pack but this was like finding a giant bag of your favourite one of a kind Jelly Belly Flavours - Yes, kids... Freshly Squeezed is that good! ( And Yay! It keeps getting better! Just checked out their webiste: www.AlleyKatBeer.com and noted: The Summer Squeeze Grapefriut Ale has taken Alberta beer drinkers by storm. You've been enjoying it so much that it is here to stay. Our Summer Squeeze has become our Main Squeeze. With the inclusion of Grapefruit into our core line up we will be discontinuing the seasonal six pack. ) The launch party was held to feature their fall releases: Alley Kat's Dragon Series Alley Kat brews their Double IPA Dragon Series for hop fans. A new single hopped Double IPA will be released every two months using a different hop variety and sold under a different color of dragon. Current Dragon: Maroon Dragon Release date: October 1st Hop Variety: Centennial Alley Kat is back on the Dragon train with Maroon Dragon DIPA. This Centennial hopped double IPA has floral and citrus aroma with notes of light malt and loads of citrus hop. Brewed in limited quantities so get yours before its all gone! I will admit that I'm usually a wine and girly girly drinker so the Maroon Dragon was completely out of my league. But my fellow drinkers assured me that it was an excellent man's beer - SUPER HOPPY! Do you think they will release an Easter Bunny Hop? Bahahaha! Okay, I'll stop ;-) And my favourite of their Fall Releases: Alley Kat's Big Bottle Series As a way of celebrating great tasting beer, Alley Kat's own Big Bottle series is a toast to all brewmasters and lovers of ale, alike. Cheers, and drink up! Current Big Bottle: Pumpkin Pie Spiced Ale Release Date: Sept 2, 2013 September marks the return of Alley Kat's Pumpkin Pie Ale. This delicious full-bodied beer is infused with pumpkin, ginger and cinnamon. Pumpkin Pie Spiced Ale is like the Fall season personified! And the big bottle packaging is cute and the perfect accompaniment to bring to your Thanksgiving dinner next week! So go snag a few bottles and treat the Beer Lovers in your life to a fabulous limited edition treat! While at the Launch Party we got to partake in a fabulous Brewery tour where I learned that Alley Kat is the oldest microbrewery in Alberta at the tender age of 19 and the 4th oldest Brewery in Alberta. They use recycled bottles boys and girls... That's right, feel good and green when you support your local Kat! Alley Kat also recycles it's spent grains into cattle feed and does their best to use all local and West Coast ingredients! Yay Alley Kat! You've got a friend in me :-) I can't wait to see what will be re-released for Christmas or what new creation you will come up with? Perhaps a Holly Hops? PS - Bring Back CRINGER (Cranberry Ginger)!

I'm bit of a cheap date when it comes to making wine--I prefer the fruit based kinds--but the stuff they sell is award winning, with the finest ingredients.
