The story of a local wine bar…

It all begins with an idea fueled by passion.

As a longtime food and wine enthusiast I decided to push the passion further and educate myself formally with the WSET program. Upon finishing Level 3 Award in Wines I was compelled to enter the world of hospitality. It would seem obvious to move to a larger city like London or Toronto, but I am passionate about Chatham, the community that I grew up in. This wine shop and tasting room is a love letter to the Chatham-Kent and surrounding area. It is an effort to bring people together in an intimate setting that encourages learning about how to further appreciate wine in a relaxed, and unpretentious, way. Whether you are just looking to enjoy a glass while catching up with a friend, grabbing a few bottles for the weekend, or wanting to geek out about unique terroir and grapes, I’m here for it.

I hope this is a refreshing alternative to the LCBO as all of the wines that are in the shop are not available in the LCBO. We work very closely with wine producers and importers that keep quality as their highest priority.

See you soon!
