We are one of Greater Toronto’s oldest non-profit wine clubs offering members unrivaled tastings. We keep our cellar which not only gives us a unique selection of properly aged wines to support our tastings but also lets us offer tastings at a very reasonable cost to members, as we do not have to bear the full burden of current market prices for aged wines.
Our events also allow you to network with other wine enthusiasts and collectors – some of our events begin with a reception, and there is always a discussion of the wines. In addition, we also hold a couple of wine dinners each year. The club provides an opportunity to learn more about wine from various wine professionals who lead our tastings. It is generally recognized that wine-tasting clubs are a great way to learn at a reasonable cost.
Clos Pegase Vertical 2001-2015 (Wednesday, May 22)
Clos Pegase is located in one of the most famous and prestigious wine regions in the New World, Napa Valley. Clos Pegase opened its doors in 1987 producing wines from Napa’s top-performing grape, Cabernet Sauvignon.
“…Cabernet Sauvignon is the Napa Valley’s grape…[the wines} have unapparelled opulence and exuberance, yet the best have fine structure too.”

About our Events
Most of our events will have a maximum attendance of 66 and take place at St. Paul’s Church 227 Bloor St E. M4W 1C8. This is between Church St. and Mt. Pleasant Rd. on the south side. Registration starts at 6:00 PM and with an event starting at 6:30 PM.
Ticket sales/registrations are final. However, if the event is completely sold out and we can sell the ticket to someone on the waiting list, we will issue a refund.
Our Extensive Cellar
Fortunately, our Winetasters know that the wine only gets better with age and our cellar is resting nicely, waiting to re-emerge for us. In the meantime, our buying committee has put a tremendous amount of work into planning 10 years’ worth of tastings! They have studied our 3000+ cellar thoroughly and made an enticing 10-year plan for most of our wines.
You can see more of our 10-year plan. It was developed a little while ago and we are in the process of fine-tuning it.
