For the sake of this wine list, our natural wines are wines that are grown or produced by winemakers implementing organic & biodynamic practices, mostly unfined & unfiltered, and the least amount of sulfur added at the end of bottling, or no sulfur added at all. These wines are complex and interesting much like our food and greatly complement our menu. These wines are alive, have character and evolve very quickly over time in the glass. They are meant to be enjoyed with food, with us here at Alter. -

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!

Does Wine Have a Place in Kant's Theory of Taste?1
Does Wine Have a Place in Kant’s Theory of Taste?1 Rachel Cristy, Princeton University Kant’s own answer to my title question is “no.” One can make of a wine the merely subjective judgment that it is agreeable, never the universally valid judgment that it is beautiful. Here is Kant’s only remark on wine in the Critique of the Power of Judgment: With regard to the agreeable, everyone is content that his judgment, which he grounds on a private feeling, and in which he says of an object that it pleases him, be restricted merely to his own person. Hence he is perfectly happy if, when he says that sparkling wine from the Canaries is agreeable, someone else should improve his expression and remind him that he should say “It is agreeable to me”; and this is so not only in the case of the taste of the tongue, palate, and throat, but also in the case of that which may be agreeable to someone’s eyes and ears. (KU §7, 5: 212) Here is Kant’s explanation for why wine can’t be judged beautiful: “Aesthetic judgments can be divided into empirical and pure. The first are those which assert agreeableness or disagreeableness, the second those which assert beauty of an object… the former are judgments of sense (material aesthetic judgments), the latter (as formal) are alone proper judgments of taste” (§14, 5: 223). Not only flavors and aromas, but also “mere color, e.g., the green of a lawn” and “mere tone…say that of a violin” are relegated to judgments of agreeableness, because they “have as their ground merely the matter of the representations, namely mere sensation” (§14, 5: 224). -
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. -
James Suckling Biography
James Suckling Biography James Suckling is one of today’s leading wine critics, whose views are read and respected by wine lovers, serious wine collectors, and the wine trade worldwide. He is currently the wine editor for Asia Tatler and its nine luxury magazines in the region, including Hong Kong Tatler, China Tatler, Singapore Tatler, and Thailand Tatler. However, most of his time is spent working for his own website, JamesSuckling.com, as well as promoting his 100 Points wine glass with Lalique, the famous French crystal house. Suckling spent nearly 30 years as Senior Editor and European Bureau Chief of The Wine Spectator, and as European Editor of Cigar Aficionado. On his departure from the magazines, Forbes called the Los Angeles-born writer “one of the world’s most powerful wine critics.” In late 2010, Suckling launched JamesSuckling.com, a site that evolved from him seeing a need for wine to be communicated in a more modern way. The site offers subscribers high-definition video content hosted by Suckling that reports on and rates the best wines from around the world, with a focus on Italy and Bordeaux. Video tastings and interviews conducted in vineyards and cellars with winemakers give viewers a firsthand account of the wines, and allow for a more spontaneous style. The site attracts viewers from over 110 countries, with the largest audiences in North America, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, Australia, Italy, and France. His first documentary film, “Cigars: The Heart and Soul of Cuba,” was released in autumn 2011 to much acclaim. It was screened in December 2011 during the 33rd Festival of New Latin American Cinema in Havana, Cuba, and was officially selected for the 15th Annual Sonoma Film Festival in Sonoma, Calif. -

A sentiment echoed by the Wine Enthusiast, which notes, “Nowadays, the hottest wine in this country is Argentinean Malbec. Dense and dark, with full-bodied richness that few other grapes … can mimic, Argentine Malbec is about seven years into a golden run during which exports to the United States have grown exponentially year after year.” What happens when the current golden child of the wine world sets roots in the Sonoma Valley? Pure oenological magic, that’s what! Vinified by superstar Randall Watkins before final blending by invino’s Founder and CEO, Tony Westfall, this 2013 Malbec is a dark and brooding red lifted aromatically by chocolate and cinnamon spice and teeming with juicy stone fruit and brambly berry. A touch of Sonoma Merlot was added to the final blend for a softer, easier style of Malbec compared to many of its rustic Argentine cousins, though fans of South American Malbec and California Cab will find this one as lovely as it is familiar. While Malbec enjoys its time in the spotlight, the grape is still a relative rarity among the vineyards of Sonoma Valley. We’ve tracked down what may very well be the best fruit there is for our inaugural Malbec and thrown in Free Shipping on 6+ bottles to further sweeten this smooth and enticing deal. -

This husband-and-wife team works ancient Chardon- nay vines in the hameau de Blagny, a tiny hamlet with a cluster of stone houses founded by Cistercian monks in the twelfth century. Very little has changed here since then except for indoor plumbing. Laurent and Hélène are students of the vine, and they are smart enough to be in complete awe of their incredible terroir. This begets continual learning and understanding, along with a profound respect for what has come before. The consistency and sheer brilliance of the Martelets’ deep, powerful, mineral-driven whites continue to amaze us.

Wine Doesn't Have to Cost the Earth Final Jul10
Press Release WINE NEED NOT COST THE EARTH WINE NEED NOT COST THE EARTH Press Release According to new research published today, whilst 96% of the UK’s 28.5 million 1wine drinkers claim to recycle their wine bottles, the last thing on two thirds (63%) of the population’s mind when buying wine is the environment, let alone the impact of wine stopper types on biodiversity, rural communities and centuries old traditions. However there is now enough evidence to show that consumers do care about the type of closure and that they want to know more. According to new research 2 among British wine drinkers, only one in 20 (4%) consumers prefer plastic stoppers whilst nearly three in five (58%) say that once told of the environmental, social and cultural benefits of natural cork, they would buy more wine sealed in the traditional way. Top ten reasons to choose natural cork: 1.1.1. 100% natural Natural cork is a truly sustainable product - 100% natural, renewable and recyclable. 2.2.2. Working with nature, not destroying it Not a single tree is felled in the production of cork stoppers. In fact, the bark of the cork oak tree is harvested after 25 years and then once every nine years thereafter. Each year 340,000 tonnes of natural cork stoppers are produce. The sustainability of cork closure production has been recognised by leading NGOs and auditing firms around the world, some even having achieved accreditation from the Forest Stewardship Council, providing independent reassurance that these forests are responsibly managed to guarantee the long term protection of delicate ecosystems and habitats. -
