Marquette, Vermont, USA
A mineral, ferociously berried hybrid red, giving Alsatian pinot noir vibes! Join us in welcoming to the GW family, one of the most intriguing projects in all of North America, La Garagista! Owner and winemaker Deirdre Heekin oversees her thriving, vine-wound kingdom with an affinity for hybrid grapes, thriving ecosystems & a thirst for knowledge. FUN FACT! Like many great inventions, today's demi-john, originally called ‘Lady Jane’, or ’Dame-Jeanne’, was created by accident. In 1347, when Queen Joanna of Naples was exiled to Avignon, she one morning startled her host (an artisan glassmaker) into producing the first of these gorgeously bulbous, 10 litre vessels! Garagista’s ‘damejeanne’ is made of the spiced, darkly-berried hybrid marquette, harvested from two vineyards hidden in the hills and valleys of Vermont, fermented on skins, and blended together after a year in glass demijohns. Red liquorice, violet, ironstone, tart strawberries that sit centre stage, salt & parsnips. Enjoy with an herbed and roasted potato dish of any kind.

We don't know if you've heard this, but Canada is a truly WILD place to import wine. Each province is it's own country with super strict rules. For ages, so much of the very best natural wine never made it into the province. That is changing in such an exciting way. We started our own import company to bring you some of our very favourite wines from around the world at the sharpest prices - this allows us to travel, fall in love with a wine, and bring right to your doorstep without a middle person. Put simply, as the importer, we shave one layer off the supply chain. We offer these sweet wholesale discounts when you bundle. From 1, 3 to 6 packs you'll find serious savings. The GWI sticker - Grape Witch Imports - means not only that we strongly stand behind the producer, it also means you won't find a better deal anywhere else in town. It also allows us to source many wines just for the shop - you'll find Ontario exclusives marked GWIE - Grape Witch Import Exclusive. Are you a licensee or producer looking to join our imports roster? Send us an email at hello@grapewitchimports.com
