What Makes This Wine Tasting Different?
Anyone can pour wine.
What makes this experience memorable is learning why these wines matter.
Over the last decade, I've spent thousands of hours visiting wineries across Ontario, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward County, and beyond. I've interviewed winemakers, explored vineyards, judged competitions, written about Canadian wine, and introduced thousands of people to bottles they never knew existed.
Every tasting is built around discovery.
You'll leave knowing why Canadian Pinot Noir has become world-class, what makes Niagara Riesling so exciting, why our sparkling wines deserve international attention, and—most importantly—which bottles you'll actually want to drink again.
No snobbery.
No intimidating wine jargon.
Just genuinely great wine.

Meet Your Host
I'm Laura Batten, founder of Crushable Wine Club.
For years I've been on a mission to convince Canadians—and visitors—that some of the world's most exciting wines are being made right here.
My work has appeared in national publications, I've collaborated with wineries across the country, and I've spent years helping people discover wines they actually love—not wines they're told they should love.
Hosting tastings is my favourite part of what I do because every evening feels like inviting friends over to share something exciting.

Why Canadian Wine?
Canada produces some of the world's coolest-climate wines, giving them remarkable freshness, elegance, and balance.
Yet many visitors leave the country without ever tasting them.
This experience changes that.
