About Oak & Vine
Ever find yourself wandering aimlessly among bottles of chardonnay and pinot noir at the liquor store, wondering what to buy? Instead of organizing wines by region, Oak & Vine organizes our hand-picked wine selection by flavour and uses a colour-coded system to categorize bold, juicy, smooth, sweet, bubbles, mellow and crisp wines.
Categorizing wine by flavour helps everyone from the newbie wine drinker, to the seasoned oenophile, take home a wine in their flavour wheelhouse.
If beer is your beverage, we are Calgary’s Craft Beer Destination™ with over 1000 craft, and import, beers in stock! We strive to have the most interesting and current beer selection in town with new styles and breweries arriving every week!
Wine Folk
Nemea Beskas
Hello, I’m Oak & Vine’s wine lady. My focus is to find affordable wine gems from smaller producers for our customers. That’s why our team hand-picks every wine that hits our shelves. So, if you don’t recognize some of our labels, ask us about them! We’re happy to offer more information and help you find something in your flavour wheelhouse.

Our in-house renaissance man. Wine is his day job but he is far from one-dimensional with interests in art, music and photography. Take his recommendation, you will be back for another one!
