The WINETASTERS OF TORONTO have been running tastings for over thirty years. A non-profit organization, we offer tastings of interest to everyone from beginner to connoisseur. Our tastings feature wines from all over the world and cover the entire wine spectrum.

Once again we seek to start our autumn tastings with an extraordinary red wine event. We will enjoy the wines from the famous Hermitage appellation in the southern Rhône valley.

June 22nd – mark it down on your calendar. We are reprising last year’s successful “end of term” event – our Patio Party at Globe Bistro. For those who weren’t there last year, it's not a tasting, not the Christmas Party, not a Spring Dinner. But it is a chance to come out socialise with your fellow wine and food enthusiasts! Come and join with us for some great wine, delicious finger foods & of course witty banter.

I sometimes wonder (as I am sure most of our members do) how those highly touted 1989 Bordeaux reds are aging. The large 1989 crop produced rich, fleshy wines that typically possess soft, silky tannins and high alcohol levels. It was the warmest summer since 1949 and the picking began very early on August 28th, the earliest since 1893. In our world of instant gratification and custom vinted wines for immediate consumption, this tasting is what may be best described as an extraordinary event. We will explore the subtleties and complexities of well aged Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

Ernest Hemingway wrote: “Reality is an illusion that occurs due to lack of alcohol.” With that in mind, our reality is blessedly changing for the better with summer just around the corner. What better way to celebrate the changing of the seasons than overlooking our city’s waterfront: boats, water, sunshine. With these images in mind we've partnered up with the National Yacht Club to present a hearty meal to ward off the last of spring’s cool grip and paired with some fantastic wines from all over the world that promise hope for a beautiful summer.

Cancelled due to lack of interest. If you have already signed up for this event, you have been contacted by phone giving you the option of attending the May 20th event or getting your money refunded.

0ur May tasting asks the question “what is all the fuss about?” Pursuant to the “Sideways” phenomenon, “we don’t want no Merlot”, we are hunting for a clear expression of California Pinot. We've avoided the 15%+ alcohol fruit bombs that dominate warmer climate expressions and collected some cooler appellation wines that show various winemaking styles.
