Edmonton Oilers forward Evander Kane has been spending quality time with his family this offseason. After the trying Stanley Cup final series and the eventual heartbreak in Game 7, Kane has now found himself amid trade rumors.

However, Kane isn’t stopping from making the most of his time off, as he hosted the launch party of his liquor brand, Dovetail Wine, on Saturday.

The event was attended by a handful of guests, including Oilers TV host Tony Brar and Chris Karampelas, President of Karampelas & Executives. Others in attendance at the party were Shaafraz, founder of Curate Collective Media, and Miss Mission Canada 2022 Brittany Elizabeth Alice. Local professionals like Kat Sieg, Pamela Adam and many others were also in attendance.

Evander Kane announced the launch of Dovetail Wine in July

The Edmonton Oilers forward founded his own brand of liquor, Dovetail Wine, last month, partnering with the City & Country Urban Winery. He officially announced the launch of the wine on July 25.

“Very excited to announce my first wine, Dovetail, with @citycountrywine. Bold, balanced, and approachable, Dovetail Cabernet Sauvignon is the perfect pour,” Kane posted on Instagram.

According to Dovetail Wine’s website, the name and design of the wine are inspired by the Japanese dovetail joint, known for its perfect fit and meticulous craftsmanship. This attention to detail carries over to the wine itself, which is a 2021 Californian Cabernet Sauvignon.

“Wine should make a statement, and Dovetail is the perfect pour—elegant, bold, and captivating,” Evander Kane says on the dovetailwine website.

While living in California, Kane developed a deep appreciation for high-quality yet approachable wines and decided to create Dovetail. The brand of wine is "bold and balanced," with a rich and luxurious feel. It comes from the Lodi region, known for its sustainable winemaking practices and offers a complex flavor profile with notes of sweet spices, berries, vanilla and chocolate.

Dovetail is a full-bodied wine with medium acidity. It is priced starting at $89.99, according to its website.
