To me, wine means family. Many of my earliest memories are of my Italian-immigrant parents and grandparents crushing grapes in the garage, working together on their homemade wine. I’ve been lucky to experience a range of wines from all over the world and have completed the WSET Level 3 Award in Wines.”

Years ago, my family took me on a winery trip to Niagara. I was amazed at the brilliant wines we’re lucky to have growing right here in our own province. As a buyer at LCBO, I feel privileged to be bringing Ontario’s best to you. I have my WSET Level 3 and Wine Appellations of Ontario certificate.”

Over the last decade, I’ve curated my best picks as a buyer for Canada’s top gourmet food and gifting retailers. I think a lot about where wine comes from, who made it, how, and why it costs what it costs. I hope my picks inspire your confidence, earn your trust, and cause celebration!”

EUROPEAN WINES

There’s something special about how wine connects people, places and stories. I’m drawn to the sense of discovery in every glass. As a certified sommelier with WSET Level 3, I’m always on the hunt for wines that leave a lasting impression.” Julie Hauser

Wine has been my passion ever since I began my career in wine sales three decades ago. Having achieved my WSET Level 4 Diploma, I continue learning through tasting, researching and travel. My favourite way to enjoy wine is matching it with good food and good friends.”

I’ve spent 15 years growing with LCBO. The past decade has been dedicated to wine – five years as a Product Consultant and three as a buyer. As a certified sommelier, I believe wine should be easy to love, easy to share, and never too serious.”

I enjoy exploring different wine styles and uncovering ‘my flavours’ one sip at a time. I believe wine should be accessible and enjoyable for all. Having completed the WSET Level 3 Award, I’m excited to expand my knowledge and curate products customers will enjoy.”
