Want to know more about wine but aren’t sure where to start?
Hosting a dinner or party coming up and don’t know what to bring?
Want to impress a wino in your life, but don’t know what to give them?
Planning a major life event and not sure which wines to choose?
I can help.
Whether you have a big event coming up, someone in your life you want to impress, or just want a couple tips for your next visit to the LCBO, I’ve got you covered. After we’re done, you’ll have a better idea of what kinds of wines you like and will be able to go into any wine shop and have an idea of what you want, and be able to talk to the people who work there without feeling like an idiot.

Want a little wine angel to help you navigate the LCBO in person? I got you – let’s do this!
This is for you if:
- You don’t feel comfortable asking your regular wine shop staff for help
- You value face-time
- You want to make the LCBO your bitch 🙂
How it works
I’ll learn about you and your budget, intent, preferences, and buying plans. Then we’ll meet at an LCBO in Toronto’s downtown core (or via Zoom). I’ll help you figure out the different sections and offer you options on what to buy that fit your needs. I’ll educate you throughout the process on both wine and the LCBO.
Cost
$50 for a 30 minute consultation
$75 a 1 hour consultation

Need to pick wines for a big event and not sure where to start? I can help with that.
This is for you if:
- Who have a major event coming up
- Who want to impress their guests but don’t have the knowledge to do so
- Who know that wine is an integral part of a great event (big or small)
How it works
I’ll learn about you and your budget, intent, preferences, and buying plans. Then I’ll offer you 3-5 options of each wine type (red, white, rosé, sparkling) with information about the wine and why I chose it for you. Recommendations are designed to fit your needs and tailored to your event (paired with food, matching a theme, etc.).
Optional Extra – I’ll come to your home/office/location of your choosing to do a tasting with you and help you choose.
Cost
$125 for the consultation
$250 including in-home tasting (+ the cost of the wine)
