The warm weather has arrived and with it, a refreshing drink to accompany you in the park.
Look no further, because Grape Crush has one drink in particular that will give you the drink you need, frosé. The idea comes from Chelsea Lawrence, who oversees all the buying across the business. The drink is crafted with fresh strawberry puree, lemon juice and a Greenlane rosé, and it's absolutely mouth-watering.
The drink is the perfect combination of sweet and refreshing, what could be better than that? For you non-rosé lovers, the manager at Grape Crush, Jane Frances Dunlop, is also currently experimenting with other things you can turn into yummy slush, so be sure to keep an eye out to see what comes next.
Beyond frosé, Grape Crush is more than just your average bottle shop––they're the one-stop-shop for great wine, no matter what your education or budget. They have an incredible selection of wine for under $25, so there is something for everyone, and they focus primarily on local natural wines. Each employee has an extensive knowledge about their selection––they collectively look far and wide (and taste many) to find the perfect wines for the store. Their passion comes through in the selection they sell, which is comprised of 200+ wines across many regions, varietals and styles.
Finding the perfect drink is easier than it looks when you have the perfect staff helping you out. From natural wines and beers to ciders and cocktails, they have and know it all. Not able to go to the store? No problem, their website has extensive information for you to read before finding the bottle for you! Grape Crush has also started to sell their own house wines, previously collaborating with Traynor Vineyards on the loveliest summer white, that suit any occasion.
While this year has been quite challenging for everyone, Grape Crush has found their footing by seizing the opportunity to do what they weren't able to pre-pandemic and create their beautiful bottle shop. For the wine lovers that want to try something new, the beer lovers, or someone seeking a cocktail-to-go, be sure to check them out in-store or online.
Grape Crush is located at 1166 Dundas Street West, conveniently a 2 minute walk from Trinity Bellwoods. Be sure to hit them up for your summer, park, or evening needs.
