BIN905
Bin 905 was established in 1997 to serve Calgary’s growing thirst for premium wines and spirits. Our goal is to provide an enticing environment in which to shop, managed by a friendly and highly knowledgeable staff.
Virtually all of our staff members are either certified sommeliers or sommeliers in training, and the management team travels the world in search of unique and sought-after wines. It’s just one of the reasons the Globe and Mail called us the “best place in Canada to find rare wine.”
Visitors constantly remark that the selection and service offered at Bin 905 are un-matched in the Canadian market, and those are the words we like to hear! We offer a series of provocative and unique in-store wine tastings throughout the year in the laid back confines of our tasting room, and whether you are starting a cellar or just looking for the perfect wine for that perfect meal, Bin 905 is here to help.
We have plenty of free parking behind our store so come on down, have a taste of wine and discover why Bin 905 Distinctive Wines and Spirits is a mainstay among the great wine shops of the world.

FEBRUARY 11
Summers 2008 Launch Party!
It might sound a little wacky, and a whole lot premature, but come this February everyone at Bin905 is going to be thinking ‘Summers has arrived’. Of course when I say “Summers” I’m talking about Summers; the boutique California winery based out of Knight’s Valley, which is at the north end of Napa Valley. Why everyone at Bin905 is so excited is because the newest vintages of the fantastic and sought after wines Summers makes are just starting to arrive.
At Bin905 we are always looking for a reason to celebrate. So we’ve decided that on Saturday, February 11th we are going to open all of Summers new wines and celebrate by hosting a free tasting, giving everyone a chance to try all of these fantastic new wines.
Here’s what we will be opening:
Summers Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, 2008
Summers Knights Valley Merlot, 2008
Summers Calistoga ‘Four-Acre Zin’ Zinfandel, 2008
Summers Napa Valley Petite Sirah, 2007
Summers Napa Valley Charbono, 2008
Summers Reserve Alexander Valley Chardonnay, 2008
So be sure to circle Saturday, February the 11th on your calendar and head on down to Bin905 to try some delicious wine, from an exceptional California producer, and it’s all free of charge.
