A note from Andrew Ferguson at Kensington Wine Mart

Last week was a tough one for many in Calgary and Southern Alberta. The floods wreaked havoc on people’s homes and businesses. Lives have been turned upside down. The negative impact on our infrastructure and our economy will be huge. First estimates have come in north of $5,000,000,000. I had countless messages by phone, email, Facebook and Twitter, inquiring about the store and our staff. Even an offer to help clean up my basement which was flooded by a pipe failure unrelated to the floods. Thank you for your concern and thoughts. We were very lucky. KWM was spared, other than a four day power outage, however so many of our friends, family and other businesses were not.

As the saying goes: the show must go on! In the true spirit of the West, we are throwing a side walk sale this weekend, Saturday June 29^th and Sunday June 30^th. We will be donating $0.50 from every bottle of wine and spirits sold to the Red Cross for Flood Relief. All of our in-stock wine will be 15% off, in-stock whiskies 10% off and in-stock beer 5% off. We will also have even bigger discounts on selected wines and whiskies. For the list of whiskies discounted 15-25%, please refer to my list below!

Finally, we have also opened up our “Scotch Malt Whisky Society Canada July Outturn” tasting to the general public. We have two sessions, one at 6PM the other at 8PM next Friday July 5^th. These identical standup tastings each have room for 30 participants. The 8PM tasting is nearly sold out, but there are still about 20 spots available at 6PM. We are charging $40 for members and $50 for guests with a $10 donation to be made, for every participant, to the Red Cross. The events will feature the Society’s latest releases. You can register by phone (403)-283-8000 or through the website. For more information on the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, the world’s largest whisky club, visit www.smws.ca.

I hope you and yours have a safe and happy long weekend, and I wish you all the best in the weeks ahead.

Slainté!
