OUR POPULAR 
WINE OF THE MONTH 'CLUB'

The Savvy Selections
Canadian wines delivered to your doorstep

Together with Canadian wineries, The Savvy Grapes Sommeliers have developed the Savvy Selections - a unique wine of the month 'club'.  

Each month, one winery is featured & 3 different wines of that winery are shipped to your home or office.  We include the Savvy e-Zine with background about the featured winery, an interview with the winemaker, Sommelier tasting notes & suggested recipes to enjoy with each wine.

The Savvy Selections is for everyone who wants to enjoy wine beyond the shelves of the wine store.  This is a fun way to explore Canadian wines with friends, neighbours, clients & colleagues.
