Tuesday, June 17 - 2017 White Bordeaux

For red wines, 2017 was a tough year for Bordeaux. It's a different story for the region's white wine, however. The cooler, steady conditions in 2017 resulted in white wines with excellent freshness and vibrant acidity. These wines are typically crisp and lively, showcasing purity of fruit. Typically a blend of sauvignon blanc and semillon, white Bordeaux wines need time in the cellar to come together and shine. At 8 years old your white Bordeaux is ready to shine and delight.

Tuesday, September 16, 2015 Burgundy

What needs to be said about the world's most sought after red wines. Let's focus on the vintage. Critics have consistently praised the 2015 red Burgundies for their combination of power, elegance, and age-worthiness. Some consider the 2015 vintage among the finest vintages of recent history, and make comparisons to other top years like 2005, 2009, and 2010. A decade has passed since these grapes were harvested and it's time to check in on everything that vintage has to offer.

Wednesday, October 22 - Vintage VS Non-Vintage Champagne - Joint event with Winetasters of Toronto

You may have noticed that many bottles of champagne do not have a vintage on the label while others have this disclosure. Non-vintage champagnes are blends from multiple vintages or could be a specific vintage blended with wines the producer holds in reserve. This event will contrast vintage and non-vintage champagnes from selected producers and is your opportunity to determine if there is a style that you prefer.

Tuesday, November 18 - 2007 Barolo

Many critics praised the 2007 vintage for its balance between fruitiness and structure. Some found it to be a vintage that showcases Nebbiolo’s elegance, without the overwhelming austerity sometimes found in Barolo. Your tasting will explore 8 aged Barolos that are in a fantastic drinking window. Stay tuned for an extra-special surprise on a Unicorn wine that will be included in this event. This tasting will be a fitting closure to our 50th season.

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 $100-$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 Speaker contributes their scores for a fun comparison with the Group's scores.
