If you have never made wine with us, you may be interested in these facts:
1. The wines that you "make" at Bloor West Winery have significantly less additives than commercial wines,
2. The wines that you "make" with us are virtually tax free and that is not true of wines purchased at the LCBO,
3. We source our wines from the RJ Spagnols division of Vincor, from the Winexpert division of Andrew Peller Limited and from CellarCraft International,
4. Customers tell us that they prefer their wines to commercial products. In part, this is due to the lower level of additives (up to 80% lower). Those who experience headaches from commercial wines do not get them from their own wine. And, there is the value: The most expensive wine you can make at Bloor West Winery is under $8.00 per bottle and any one of these wines will be far superior to a similarly-priced bottle from the LCBO.
5. You refill ... we recycle: By refilling perfectly good bottles, you keep glass out of the recycling stream; similarly, we recycle virtually all of your wine ingredient packaging, from the outer box to the bladder to the oak chips,
6. About us: We add value to each order with our winemaking knowledge and experience, dedication to cleanliness, modern equipment and commitment to a fun experience for all. Bloor West Winery has been recognized in the Bloor West Villager's Reader's Choice award as the #1 Diamond Winemaking Business in the area for 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.
As well, we were recongized as the #1 Diamond Winemaking Business for 2008 and 2009 by the Etobicoke Guardian. (In September 2007, we moved from Bloor West Village to the Kingsway, thus the change in our "local" newspaper.)
In addition, at the 2010 WineMaker magazine International Amateur Wine Competition we won 8 medals, more than any other on premise winemaking business in the West End.
Please accept our invitiation to visit the winery and have all your questions about on premise winemaking answered. Cheers!
