Experience the opportunity to taste a wide variety of red wines from Ontario wineries by Award winning Wine Doctor Ed Finstein. Our format for this tasting is semi-blind so we are going to tell you what grapes but not the specific wines or vintages. We are hoping that you will gather enough information over the course of the evening from the Wine Doctor that you will be able to identify the wonderful wines we are tasting. We will start out the evening with some great reception wines:

  • Reif Estate Late Harvest Gewurztraminer
  • DeSousa Wine Cellars Semi Dry Riesling

For the main event, we will be sampling nine wines from Reif Estate, Pelee Island Winery and DeSousa Wine Cellars. Do you think you can distinguish the differences between the following grapes?

  • Cabernet Sauvignon
  • Pinot Noir
  • Shiraz
  • Merlot
  • Cabernet Franc
  • Baco Noir
  • Marechal Foch

Underground parking is available at a reduced rate (presently $7.00), after 6pm. The entrance is off Wellington St. which is south of King St. & runs one-way west off Yonge St. Make 3 left turns. Park & take the east elevators. For information only, call the Wine Line at 416-921-9798. Reservations will not be taken over the phone.
