Have you seen this article in Decanter? It highlights the Grand Auxerrois region in northern Burgundy and makes a mention of Domaine Verret. It is good to see that more attention is being paid to this part of Burgundy emphasizing not only the value but the significant increase in quality of the wines. Domaine Verret is a fantastic winery to be partnered with as they have a long history to play off (started in 1750), but more so they are moving forward, making some exciting delicious wines that are gaining international attention. Through my affiliation with Vintage Trade wines, I currently have a few cases of Irancy 2022 (Pinot Noir) available, as well as Chablis 2023 (Chardonnay). If you're a restaurant owner in the north Halton Region and would like to set up a wine tasting, or place an order. Please reach out to me to discuss further. https://www.decanter.com/premium/grand-auxerrois-the-go-to-region-for-value-burgundy-552321/

Get to know the names of these hitherto under-the-radar appellations. The Grand Auxerrois could be the new epicentre for best value in Burgundy

Are you dreaming of a red or white Christmas?

As a wine rep for Vintage Trade Wines, you can purchase wines from me, by the case, that are not available through traditional channels like the LCBO. For home entertaining we have lots of well priced wines for big groups plus some 6-packs of premium offerings for more intimate gatherings....Chablis and Oysters, Barolo for Osso Buco or a roast beef, the options are endless.

Connect with me today if you'd like to learn more. 🍷🥂

If you have not yet tried the wine from Sue-Ann Staff Estate Winery or the food from Risposta Bistro, this is your opportunity.

If you have been following this page for a while you may know that I started this when I thought Direct Cellars was coming to Canada, we'll we all know that didn't happen!

I am excited to share that I have taken on a part-time role with a local company called Vintage Trade Wines, representing small batch and sustainable wineries from around the world.

I am looking to connect with establishments and private wine collectors in North Halton, Mississauga, Brampton and Orangeville. Please share with anyone in these areas who may be interested in learning more.

Cheers! 🥂

Welcome to our selection of wines from around the world that have been chosen by our experienced team of Sommeliers and wine experts. Our focus is family-owned wineries who pick their grapes by hand and make their wine with the least amount of intervention. We hope you enjoy the selection.

Hmmm, which personality do you think I have based on this? I would have thought that I would be a Jester; but I haven't found a Reisling that I really enjoy yet.
