Wine Clubs in Toronto
This page has four sections:
Introduction
It's rather more serious than the picture but joining a wine club is a great way to sample some excellent wines that you
couldn't afford yourself and enhance your knowledge and expertise at the same
time. Some clubs will also give you information updates in their mailings on
recurring wine shows and wine fairs taking
place in Toronto. See Events for details. Some clubs are general purpose,
others are country specific.
Each club offers a number of tastings per year and often has other social
events such as dinners. The usual format for a wine tasting is a sit-down event at tables of eight to
ten people. Generally, there will be a particular theme. It could be
a grape variety, it could be a country or it could be a vertical tasting - wines
from different years from the same producer. Typically, about eight wines
are served, and you will be told beforehand what wines you are drinking but not
necessarily which is which.

The format tends to vary from club to club. Some clubs like to determine the relative popularity of the wines tasted via
the collection and summarization of each person's individual ratings. Other
clubs get feedback in a more informal fashion via a show of hands. In both
scenarios, there are typically one or more expert speakers to lead a post
tasting discussion.
