I had such a great experience making wine at Sheppard Wine Works. The entire experience was fun,…read moreeducational, and most importantly, I got 30 bottles of wine out of it for $150 (using a Groupon). That's $5 per bottle! And it's really drinkable stuff!! The wine we made was a 6-week Malbec. We chose it, even though it cost slightly more, because the owner (I assume) Russ was super nice and let us try a few samples and we liked that one the best. He was really fair about letting us try things in the entire price range and was never pushy about up-selling us on the more expensive stuff, we chose it entirely on our own. I think it tastes as good as most wines in the $10-$15 range at LCBO, which is what I usually drink. We also have picked up DIY 2L beer kits ($6) from here in the past, which I also highly recommend. So simple, just drop a vial of yeast into the bottle, leave it on your kitchen counter, and in 7-10 days, BEER! We already have our next batch of wine picked out so I can't wait to go get it made.

I only drink sweet wines, so I was happy to hear that the sugar content on this wine was very high. when I got there multiple associates were willing to help me, and one took me around the store and showed me all of the sweet wine options.

Highly recommended for wine lovers or anyone looking to buy wine for a large occasion.

On a cold but wonderfully sunny afternoon, we chose to arrange a wine tour at Magnotta Winery. We…read morewere fortunate enough to be led by the amazingly kind and incredibly knowledgeable Michael Ber, Assistant Manager of Retail and Events. The tour was fantastic for SO many reasons... Upon our arrival we were led to the beautiful and bright Awards room, housing the endless awards won by Magnotta for wine and spirits at events all over the continent and beyond. Michael asked questions to narrow down our likes and dislikes, the preliminary to our wine tasting. More about that later :) Our first stop was an information-filled walk-through of the machinery area where the wines are produced and bottled. From there we continued into the basement's Barrel Room where hundreds and hundreds of barrels of wine are stored. Old winemaking machinery added perfectly to the decor, creating an almost museum-like element. The decor all throughout the winery is old-world Italian style which created an authentic, peaceful mood from one space to the next. Once the tour was over, we were invited back into the Awards Room for the fun part... the wine tasting portion of the tour. It was then that each of us was given our personally curated flights consisting of 3 wines to try, each specific to our indicated preferences. We also opted for the complementing charcuterie board and focaccia bread (at a low additional cost) that truly brought out some of the more complex flavors of the wines being sampled. I would recommend this winery and wine tour for anyone who wants to fine tune their wine preferences and flavor profiles. We were never rushed, all questions were answered, and we left far more educated about the world of wine than we ever could have expected! It was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon and a great reason to indulge in some fantastic wine... not like anyone needs a reason for that!!! Pros: - Location (easy-to find industrial area near major highways) + free parking - Staff (professional & friendly) - Ambiance/Decor - Selection of wines - Taste of wines & food - Prices (of wines, tour & food) Cons: - None

We even tried one if their Vidal Ice Wines - oh my - how absolutely delicious! The staff are all friendly and can direct you to some great wines if you ask. They do not sell at the LCBO so the prices are about 40% cheaper than if they did. They have a great variety, including some beers (they have a brewery on deck). Definitely be back as I saw quite a few interesting wines. They even have their own vodka and brandy.

Talking about Wine Tasting at Vinoteca?! COMPLIMENTARY Bar!!…read more I was given a glass and just asked to help myself with close to 15 red and white wines they have available... Not really classy because they are all in a 16 litres plastic self dispensers... :) but I am not complaining!! Great if you have a huge party and you want to just let your guests drink as much as they enjoy.. then those 16 litres definitely the way to go! I ended up with a Barrel Aged Pinot Noir Reserve for $9.85.. good for everyday drinking... Staffs are so friendly... and I will be back to try out more of their wines when I am in the area...

They've got all the usual reds and whites, as well as an impressive collection of ice wines (complete with the fancy glass-blown bottles to hold it). I'm not a wine expert but they seem to have their fair share of awards and recognition for their efforts. For those who drink a large amount they sell it by the bucket (yes they're 16L huge buckets) which are vacuum sealed so they keep fresh.They also have a huge variety of bottles and boxes for everyone else. If you're not sure what type of wine you're in the mood for they have them all on display for you to sample. If you're a business they can custom print you a label with your logo on your choice of wines to give to your customers/associates/suppliers/etc. Makes a great present.

My pleasant experience at Vintage Vines grew over the course of three events. First the appetizer…read morewas a virtual info session. Next the main course was the shop visit for a sampler & placing our wine order. Finally the dessert culminated when our icewine was ready! While the shop's Lakeshore location is tight from the outside, there's plenty of wine passion inside. Certainly don't sleep on this LCBO alternative. I came this weekend to pickup our holiday icewine batch, which we ordered 8 weeks earlier on the prior visit. You could say we were tempted by the golden nectar! In mythology Bacchus might be credited with viticulture & wine creation, but during the winter freeze is when this specialty wine comes to life. Icewine is pressed from frozen grapes resulting in small drips of this concentrated & uniquely sweet nectar with about 13% alcohol & 200g/L sugar content. Upon opening a bottle, we're quite ecstatic about how our Riesling icewine turned out. True to form, bold notes of honey, peach & sweet citrus were evident within each full body sip. If typical late harvest is 7/10, this is 10/10 on the dessert wine scale. While this isn't your award-winning Niagara icewine, the charming taste of this Winexpert Après batch pleasantly surprised us at its price point. Celina was knowledgeable & friendly, flexibly offering us a half batch as well as providing labels & bottles for our order. The deal was too sweet to pass up for 15 icewine bottles. DIY bottling option is available. Having previously tried our hand at bottling, we opted for the convenience of pickup. Glad the end-product received was literally a vintage vine. Thanks for giving us a Riesling to review!
