Matthew Cole of Wine Garden Warehouse Winery
The Wine Garden is a one of a kind, unique urban winery, where they will help you to produce premium wines in the heart of the city, close to home. If you love wine, here is where you can get closer to your passion on every level.
At the Wine Garden, they understand that the best wines begin on the land and end in a glass. Their wines begin in Chile's Maipo Valley and Argentina's Tupungato Valley, two of the best grape-growing areas in the world. They import top-quality frozen red grapes and fresh juices directly from vineyards in these famous regions. They also bring in fresh grapes from California's Sonoma and Central Valleys.
The Wine Garden's wine experts travel to these areas every year to inspect and select the best grapes and juices available. The harvested fruit and juices are transported in specially refrigerated trucks to their state-of-the-art facility in Ottawa where they are gently coaxed into a wide selection of quality wines in many categories to suit a wide variety of tastes. For customers with a taste for dessert wines, the Wine Garden offers ice wine juices from Niagara vineyards which are only available in December and January after at least two days of heavy frost.
Once an order is placed, there are a number of storage and aging options available. The Wine Garden offers wine bulk storage for up to 90 days after your order has been placed and the choice of either French or American barrel aging. (Bulk storage up to 90 days is included with the order, but there is a charge for extended storage in tanks as well as barrel aging).
The Wine Garden also offers a unique opportunity of establishing an on-site winery producing small-batch wines of exceptional character and quality. The winery can be a dramatic focal point of a room or an unobtrusive, behind-the-scenes activity. Join the many restaurants and clubs that have been working with the Wine Garden to generate substantial new revenues by taking advantage of this unique wine-tax sheltered opportunity. Some of the benefits include:
- Free installation of the most advanced production equipment
- Top quality imported juices from Chile and California
- Dependable assistance of international wine makers
- A unique wine-tax sheltered opportunity
- Improve your bottom line
At last week's onsite Matthew Cole opened the doors to his new
Wine Garden location. In January, Matt purchased the Wine Garden location at Preston and Somerset then recently relocated it to their new building at 1546 Chatelain Street (off Kirkwood). Members and their guests were welcomed for an evening of networking, fun and great food. To add to the fun of the evening, members were treated to a sampling of the OXA wine that was started at last year's onsite in March 2010 with grapes stomped by Roly Armitage. Those members who were in attendance at Wednesday's onsite and who also attended the March 2010 onsite were treated to their very own bottle of OXA wine to enjoy.
