Wine Concierge & Experience Curator

Having studied extensively (George Brown College, Somm Factory (CMS), WSET 3, Canadian Wine Scholar and French Wine Scholar) and traveled to countless wine regions to learn through immersion, I finally took the leap and started Gusto Grapes in early 2020 (3 weeks before covid restrictions incidentally). I am an enthusiast, I love to tell stories of the gorgeous stuff in the bottle and can help you understand how best to enjoy it.

​

Although we have a boutique-sized portfolio of wines we know and deeply love, we have a shopping mall sized list of contacts so if we can help you find something, please ask. We are happy to integrate your favourite wines, preferred regions and styles into just about any format of an event. Imagination (and a licensed facility...sigh), are the only limits.
