Most wine tastings are forgettable.

You stand around a crowded room, politely swirl your glass, and listen to someone explain why you're supposed to be detecting notes of pencil shavings and wet rocks.

This isn't that.

Welcome to my home.

I'm Laura Batten, certified sommelier, wine writer, and founder of Crushable Wine Club. For over a decade, I've explored Canada's wine regions, interviewed winemakers, judged wine competitions, and helped thousands of people discover wines actually worth drinking.

This intimate Canadian wine tasting experience takes place in my private residence in Toronto, where guests gather around the table for an evening of exceptional Canadian wines, honest conversation, and the stories behind the bottles.

You'll taste a curated lineup of wines from regions including Niagara, Prince Edward County, the Okanagan Valley, Nova Scotia, and beyond. Along the way we'll discuss what makes Canadian wine unique, how to taste with confidence, and why some bottles deserve your attention while others are mostly marketing.

No wine jargon. No snobbery. No pretending.

Just great wine and great conversation.
