Tuesday, October 15  - Osoyoos Larose Le Grand Vin Vertical

Osoyoos Larose is an iconic Canadian winery in the Okanagan Valley that began as a joint venture between Vincor and Groupe Taillan, a French wine conglomerate in 1998.  Since its inaugural release of the Le Grand Vin in 2001, Osoyoos Larose has humbly won over the hearts and palates of wine enthusiasts.  Le Grand Vin is their top-tier wine that is a blend of the classic Bordeaux grapes – Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec. Your tasting will include 8 vintages of Le Grand Vin, including the 2001 inaugural release. 

​

Tuesday, November 19  - Grower-Producer Champagne 

This year our sparkling event will focus solely on grower-producers champagne. Grower-producers (or récoltant-manipulant) typically share a common story. Their families historically grew grapes that were sold to the grand marques and when the property was passed to a new generation these energetic women and men decided they wanted changes; they wanted to make their own wines that exhibited their vigneron philosophy and terroir. Your tasting will feature these artistic and distinctive wines.  

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