Enjoy the thrill of finding great wine, paired with great value!

Introducing Muscedere vineyards

Join us live with winery owner Melissa Muscedere, starting at 5pm PT on Jan 22!

There is a little known wine region in Canada that is actually one of the warmest and oldest. No, it’s not in BC at Canada’s only desert. Nope, not in Niagara either. This off-the-beaten-path region is Lake Erie North Shore (LENS), Ontario.

This winemaker's paradise boasts exceptional soil and a climate with more sun and heat units than anywhere else in Canada. Geographically speaking, it is located as far south as northern California and the Tuscany region of Italy, and further south than the renowned Bordeaux and Burgundy wine regions of France.

With wines rated as high as 94 points, extremely rare and small batch wines, and some of the best value I’ve found in Canada, I hope you can join us to discover Muscedere Vineyards, our favourite winery from LENS!

It is normally very difficult to find these wines outside of the winery. A big thanks to our member Mike LaPlante (the Average Wine Enthusiast on YouTube) for tipping us on to this winery several years ago. We have featured Muscedere in the club twice now and members absolutely love it!

Cheers,

Carl

One of the greatest Quality/Price/Ratio wines available out there. This Cabernet Franc from the Lake Erie North Shore appellation located near Windsor, ON is an absolute stunner. Crunchy red fruits highlighted with fresh raspberry, red cherry, violet clove and burst of white pepper on the finish. Not overly complicated but very compelling and delicious.

  • 94pts
  • ON VQA Lake Erie North Shore
  • 100% Syrah

Oh WOW…those were the very first words that came out of my mouth after my first sip! A very hedonistic type of wine, and a very classic style for this varietal, from one of the very best vintages that Ontario has seen in the last couple of decades. This first sip took me right back to the 2016 vintage of this wine, very similar and equally delicious. On the nose, some very expressive layers of floral aromas open up quickly at first, followed by crushed raspberry, blue plum, black licorice and a distinctive meaty component. The palate is suave and refined, delivering an expressive and concentrated style of Syrah, highlighted by a fine elegance, almost like a romance in a glass. Flavours of fresh crunchy red fruits arrive on the first layer, followed by blueberry and plum before hitting some notes of licorice and tobacco and ending with a distinct white pepper. This Syrah will age gracefully for at least a decade, and is a candidate for my Top 10 Wines of the Year for 2024! (Carl Boucher, November 2, 2024).🔥 Only 94 cases produced.

Pairings: sweet and sour pork, smoked brisket

The Winery Story

The 163-acre winery= property in Lake Erie North Shore (near Windsor, Ontario) was purchased by the Muscedere family in 1986.

Fast forward to 2000: It started with an email discussion between Fabio and Rob. They discussed possible business endeavors, but at the time, Fabio was living in Boston and Rob was working outside Detroit. For a couple months, a handful of business concepts were thrown around, but one that seemed to always linger was the idea to start a winery on their family farm land.

So the testing began! In 2001, soil and temperature tests were done to ensure the land was suitable for growing grapes. Results could not have been any better.

Preparation began! In the spring of 2002, Fabio and Rob’s dream of creating a winery started to take shape – land was prepared for planting. Drainage tiles were installed to coincide with the centre of each row, the land was leveled and slopped to allow for proper drainage of surface water and the first ever wind machine in the region was installed.

Finally Planting Time! In the spring of 2003 the first four-acres were planted with the trilogy of Vidal, Riesling and Cabernet Franc. Followed by an acre of Pinot Noir in 2004, and seven-acres of Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc in 2005. The final acre dedicated to the two Northern Italian varieties used to make Barolo wines, Barbera and Nebbiolo was planted in 2008.

Now the process of mastering these varieties continues for the Muscederes.
