Kensington Wine Market “Store Temporarily Closed To In-Store Shopping” – WHISKY BREAK-IN NEWS
BREAK-IN NEWS
I hope this note finds you well.
By now many of you will likely have seen or heard that Kensington Wine Market was the target of a break-in early in the morning of Friday, February 11th, 2022.
The good news is that our store was closed at the time and no one was injured.
The bad news is that the incident caused a considerable amount of damage to the front of our store, completely destroying the main entrance. This has left us unable to safely welcome customers into the shop for the time being.
Our team has been working hard to pickup clean up the mess and pick up the pieces. We are working with our landlord, insurers and a restoration firm to get things back into working order as soon as possible, but unfortunately this will take time.
But we are not closed!
We are still offering curbside pick-up and delivery for orders placed over the phone and via our website.
Our temporary hours for curbside pickup will be 11 AM to 7 PM daily, 6PM on Sunday, until we can open our doors again.
Pick-ups can be handled at our back entrance and in the parking lot behind our building.
Please call us at 403-283-8000 when you arrive and we will bring your purchases out to you.
On behalf of everyone at Kensington Wine Market, I want to thank you all for your patience and continued support of our business.
We have been blown away by the well-wishes, offers of help and the generosity we’ve been shown over the last 36 hours.
We are grateful to be part of an amazing community, not just in Kensington, or the broader city of Calgary, but also through our connections in the drinks business all over Canada and the world beyond.
To our amazing customers, our neighbours in Kensington, and the agents, suppliers, and importers who work with us: Thank you for everything that you do. We are lucky to have you, and we cannot wait to open our doors and welcome you into our store once more!
We will keep you posted.
Cheers,
Evan Eckersley

CHECK OUT OUR OTHER UPCOMING ONLINE TASTINGS
Tuesday, March 8th, 7 PM
Behind many of our favourite whiskies, there is a woman, or many… This is not a new trend, many women have made their mark on whisky. From Helen Cumming the woman responsible for the rise of Cardhu and the legendary Bessie Williamson of Laphroaig to the BenRiach Distillery Co.’s and Caitlin Quinn of Turner Valley’s Eau Claire Distillery, women have helped shape the whisky industry. We’re highlighting Women in Whisk(e)y to mark International Women’s Day, and hosts Harmony and Chelsey have a lot to choose from. Thanks to the generous support of some of our partners, 100% of the ticket price collected from this tasting will be donated to The Brenda Strafford Centre, a local women’s shelter.
