Sunday, Dec. 15: Wine Tasting with Sommelier Ian Thresher 4 p.m.

On Sunday, Dec. 15, we are thrilled to welcome sommelier Ian Thresher for a guided tasting of four wines that take a deep dive into the world of natural, organic, and biodynamic winemaking.

The tasting will feature the following wines alongside a cheese pairing from Mickey McGuire's Cheese. Tickets are $35 per person, and seating is limited. 

• Fattoria di Sammontana Prunecchio 2023, an aromatic and fresh white wine from Tuscany, Italy.
• Cantine Barbera Lu Còri Nero D'Avola Menfi DOC 2022, a juicy, saline-forward red wine from Sicily, Italy.

• Vitivinicola Fangareggi Vigna Rosa Lambrusco dell'Emilia IGP 2023, a dry sparkling wine from the heart of the Lambrusco region in Italy.

Ian developed a passion for wine and food while working as a chef. After earning his sommelier diploma from the International Sommelier Guild, he began his career as a sommelier at some of Toronto's top establishments. Today, Ian continues to share his knowledge and love of wine in his role at Nicholas Pearce Wines, and we're so grateful he will be joining us at Barrel Heart.
