NEW ARRIVALs: Your Faves are Back!

The lush and juicy reds from our fabulous Rhone producer, Alexandra and her family at Domaine Andre Berthet Rayne (check out the video of all of the sheep grazing in the vineyards). Really limited quantities since we have a waitlist still to go through, but if you're new to these flavour bombs, don't hesitate.

 

50% grenache, 30% carignan, 20% mourvedre  |  14.5% abv  |  unoaked

"An effusive mulberry aroma... behind the joyful fruit is a healthy structure and thanks to this the wine finishes quite dry with notes of cardamon & licorice."   (J. Suckling, 91 pts)

$23.95 x 12 (case: $238.40 + HST/delivery)

​

60% grenache, 20% syrah, 10% mourvedre  |  15% abv  |  The maturity of the vines (65+ years), additional maceration time and careful oak aging have earned this wine the reputation as 'our most requested wine'. "Complex nose of red fruit with delicate spice & licorice notes. Full-bodied, powerful, but with a wild-herb freshness & fine tannins. This is an elegant wine." (J. Suckling, 94 pts)

$38.95 x 6 (case: $233.70 + HST/delivery)​

WHY GUSTO GRAPES?

If you like the unique, the accessible, the classic and yet something on the edge, you're in the right place. Gusto Grapes represents wineries from France, Spain & Italy with history, built by families, by legacies. With traditions come know-how but with evolution comes innovation. We work with women paving a path, with the younger generations stepping into the shoes of their ancestors, with those who have left the business world to follow their passion. We choose producers who focus on sustainability and evolve with a changing climate and in many respects, a new post-pandemic world.

We like to match-make. And teach. And with enthusiasm, help our clients appreciate what's in their glass. Join us on this adventure of history, of place, and of taste.

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 how best to enjoy it.
​
Although Gusto Grapes is 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.

The total cost of any wine you purchase includes the export price, freight, customs charge, duties, excise, LCBO markup of 71.5%, LCBO wine levy, LCBO bottle levy, LCBO environmental fee and our agency fee.
