:: The Zen Gourmand ::

I’m inviting you to become a member of the “Zen Gourmand’s Wine Club”, an informal wine tasting/buying club of the most unique kind and by far the best wine club in all of Durham Region.
Be part of a group of like-minded individuals who will get together once a month to taste a fine selection of wines in an environment of shared interest, professional guidance, advice and tutoring.
Get exposed to fine wines from around the world that are not available from the LCBO’s general list or even from VINTAGES!
Experience wines in vertical and horizontal flight formats.
Taste wines you might never try on your own for any number of reasons.
Some of the themes I am working on are:

• Local Flavours
• Wines under $10
• Value Wines – Punching above their weight
• Find your hero – The big Eight
• Unsung Heroes – Wines you never heard of
• Why stop at wine – Fortifieds and Spirits
• Organic and Biodynamically grown wines
• Superb Rieslings of Germany
• The top vintages of Tuscany
• Châteaux shootout
• Super Premium Cabs from around the Globe
• Rare Viogniers
• Wine Gems of Eastern Europe
• and many more….

To join our group, please register HERE.

Membership is a nominal $98 per annum and includes an exclusive number of privileges.
Each tasting event will be by RSVP or event registration only. Events are subject to an event fee that will be determined by the cost of the wines selected plus any incidental or auxiliary costs (facilities and stemware rentals etc.), prorated by the number of participants.
Such fees are typically expected to range from $15 – $45.
You do not need to be a registered member of our club in order to attend our events.
You may attend as a guest, however, an nominal surcharge of $15 will be imposed.

At each event you will be able to order any of the wines tasted in case quantities (cases are typically 12 bottles, sometimes 6).
Splitting cases among members allowed.
Members may bring bottles from their own collections for tasting, however they will not be compensated for the wine :)
