    THE UNIVERSITY CLUB OF TORONTO WINE LIST: 2017 V.1 Introduction to the Wine List On behalf of the Wine Committee I am delighted to introduce to you the University Club of Toronto’s wine list. May I begin by offering a warm welcome to our members and guests to the delights of the University Club’s wine cellar. There are many benefits to being a member of the club, and one of the distinct pleasures we suggest you take advantage of is the enjoyment of fine wines at unusually good – let’s say unheard of – pricing. We have adopted a wine pricing policy for the sale of wines in the bar and dining room which limits the mark up to a $28 maximum. This provides an opportunity to sample some excellent wines that you may not have had an opportunity to purchase at home, with it being an affordable pleasure. To give you an example of how this compares to local restaurants in Toronto, a bottle of Chateau Palmer 1982 sells in our dining room for $280 while the price at three leading restaurants in Toronto with sizeable cellars: Restaurant #1: $560; Restaurant #2: $620; Restaurant #3 $600. We hope that you enjoy all the benefits the Club has to offer – a wonderful meal prepared by Chef Patrick Desmoulins accompanied by the best quality and value provided by our expansive cellar. Santé!

  • THE WINES of WASHINGTON 2019 Andrew Will Winery Defining the Terroir of Washington State
    THE WINES OF WASHINGTON 2019 Andrew Will Winery Defining the Terroir of Washington State “I am not interested in the similarities of my wines but the differences. The different identities of our vineyards and varietals which explore the identity of Washington State as distinct from California or Bordeaux.” Chris Camarda, Owner & Winemaker "[Chris Camarda] makes a bevy of incredible wines that will stand toe to toe with Bordeaux's 3-4+ times their going rates.” - Jeb Dunnick, The Wine Advocate "...These single vineyard bottlings are amongst the most superb wines made in the US today and are built to age long and gracefully in the cellars and only reveal their entire complement of aromatic and flavor complexities in the fullness of time." John Gilman, View From The Cellar Working out of a humble 60’ by 10’ winery, winemaker Chris Camarda launched Andrew Will Winery (Named after Chris’s son Will and Nephew Andrew) with his inaugural 1989 vintage. He has spent the last two decades producing some of Washington’s most well respected wines. Structured, elegant, and age worthy, they are a singular voice that has never adjusted in an attempt to chase scores or suit trends. Although always a focus, Chris’ attention to terroir has only intensified over time. Since 2001 he almost exclusively produces single vineyard blends as he feels this shows the terroir more clearly than a single varietal bottling. Currently he only sources from four vineyards that he feels provide the finest fruit: Champoux, Discovery, Two Blondes, and Ciel du Cheval. All Andrew Will wines are treated more or less the same in the cellar; 25-35% new oak barrels, aged for around 21 months, followed by a year of aging in bottle.

  • Quilceda Creek Knows, It’S Cabernet Sauvignon
    Singularly Focused on the Pursuit of World-Class Cabernet Sauvignon If there’s one thing Quilceda Creek knows, it’s Cabernet Sauvignon. From our very first vintage in 1979, we have dedicated ourselves to doing one thing, and doing it right. We made the decision to focus on our greatest asset, the prolific vineyards of the Columbia Valley, and from the best of its grapes, create the highest caliber Cabernet Sauvignon. This decision continues to be our guiding philosophy today. We are proud to have set the benchmark for Cabernet Sauvignon, not only for Washington State but of all Cabernet Sauvignon producing regions. We create our wine with passion and intentionality. Dedicated to quality over everything else, our head winemaker, Paul Golitzin, marries precision with artistry. We produce Cabernet Sauvignon that compete with the cult wines of Napa Valley such as Screaming Eagle and Harlan Estate, and with France’s First-Growth wineries like Chateau Lafite Rothschild, Chateau Latour, Chateau Margaux or Chateau Haut-Brion. Producing world-class wine with uncompromising quality year after year is as much science as it is art. In order to be successful, we keep our focus on small batches, with quality always taking precedence over quantity. With today’s changing climates, we continuously update our growing approach and integrate technology to maintain consistency in our vineyards. We drive the 250 miles to Eastern Washington every week, checking on our grapes personally, religiously tending the vineyards, harvesting them at the absolute peak, then transporting them back to our estate in Snohomish, WA for the crush.

  • The Robert M. Parker Wine Cellar
    The Robert M. Parker Wine Cellar The Robert M. Parker Wine Cellar is named in honor of the man often considered to be the world’s foremost wine authority, a born and bred Baltimorean. The Robert M. Parker Cellar is primarily focused on special, superb small production American wines, although we also have a broad selection of many very fine vintages from around the world. Our goal is to offer unique labels with which one may not ordinarily be familiar. In doing so, we endeavor to support those artisans who are striving to create exceptional wines. Most, but not all, of our wines have been rated in the Wine Advocate by Mr. Parker and are so noted. There are simply too many wines to rate them all, however our sommeliers have carefully selected, tasted and approved each and every wine new to our list. Upstairs at The Ivy offers our Parker 100 Cellar-an ever-growing list of wines rated 99-100 points. “There are few things more enjoyable than a fine meal and a fine wine shared with friends and comrades who love to experience life as it is meant to be.” Robert Parker Although Mr. Parker is a frequent dinner guest at Magdalena he always pays full price. There is no financial remuneration or other relationship whatsoever between the parties. Mr. Parker has authorized us to use his name; we are the only restaurant or wine cellar in the world so permitted. 2 Table of Contents Wine by the Glass 4 Large Format 5 Half Bottles 6 Sparkling Wines 7 Prestige Cuvée Champagnes 8 Mevushal Wines 8 Rosé Wines of the World 9 Domestic White 9 California Chardonnay

  • A Deathbed Promise to Achieve a 100 Point Napa Valley Wine
    2,614 views | Aug 22, 2020,06:53pm EDT A Deathbed Promise To Achieve A 100 Point Napa Valley Wine Cathrine Todd Contributor Spirits Light Breaking Through the Clouds GETTY When Cyril Chappellet sat by his father’s bedside as he lay there dying, he and his siblings wanted to promise one last thing to their father - to finally receive 100 points for their Pritchard Hill Estate Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. They had gotten close with a “99.5” but that isn’t 100. After Cyril’s father had spent almost 50 years devoting his life to Pritchard Hill, helping to encourage high- altitude “mountain grown” Cabernet, it seemed to his children that he didn’t fully receive the full recognition that he deserved creating some of the most long lived Napa Valley wines, rivaling some of the Bordeaux greats. Molly and Donn Chappellet in 1968 CHAPPELLET Cyril’s father was none other than Donn Chappellet who had been a serious wine collector going back to his college days and although he co-founded Interstate United Corporation, a coffee-vending distributorship in the mid- 1950s, he soon left the rat race to pursue his passion for wine. In 1967, at the age of 34, Donn, with his wife Molly and their five kids, said goodbye to their home in Beverly Hills to make a new life purchasing 320 acres of land on Pritchard Hill in Napa Valley; they would make fine wine from Cabernet Sauvignon that was planted at high-altitude, something that was unheard of in California back in the 1960s, and it is still an unorthodox idea as only 3% of the wine grapes grown in California are from altitudes above 1,000 feet and some of the Pritchard Hill vineyards are as high as 2,000.
