Tuesday October 17 - Garage Wine Company of Chile

Garage Wine was started in a garage in 2001, by Etobicoke ex-pat Derek Mossman and his wife Pilar Miranda. They handcraft wines from a series of individual vineyards located in the Maule and Itata Valleys, in the south of Santiago, Chile. Their wines are field blends made from pre-phylloxera rootstock Carignan, Garnacha, Monastrell, País, Cinsault, and Cab Franc grapes grown in a series of dry-farmed crus. These wines have obtained a cult status making this tasting an experience you do not want to miss.  BUY TICKETS NOW

 

Tuesday November 21 - West Coast Pinot Noir: Canada vs USA

Wines from Pinot Noir grapes grown on the west coast of Canada and the United States are attracting attention. Canadian winemakers in British Columbia, have been producing high-quality Pinot Noir wines in recent years. The cool climate and long growing season in BC allow the grapes to ripen slowly, developing complex flavors and aromas. These wines are typically medium-to-light-bodied, with flavors and aromas of cherries, raspberries, and red currants. They may also have hints of earthy, mushroom-like flavors, as well as spice notes. Pinot Noir wines from the west coast of the USA have very similar attributes. This tasting is an opportunity to explore the similarities, differences, and your preferences for the Pinot Noir wines of these regions.

How Our Tastings Work

Based in Downtown Toronto, we meet on the third Tuesday of the month, nine times a year, to taste and discuss different wines.

 

Each event typically costs between $90-$140 per member. Non-members/guests can attend, space permitting, at a premium (up to 40%). Price includes wine and light appetizers.

 

On the night an expert guides us through the wines enabling members to learn, taste and debate our favourites of the night. We provide a tasting sheet that lets you capture notes on each wine:

 

  • Colour & Clarity: colour as a result of grape varietal, age, and climate

  • Bouquet: aromas from the grapes, wine making process and ageing

  • Palate: taste, texture, finish

  • Plus: your overall impression of the wine

 

We then rank each of the wines according to these preferences and share with the group. The Guest contributes their scores for a fun comparison with the Group's scores.
