Le Sommelier presents six new mixed cases…
We’ve just loaded SIX new Mixed Cases onto the Le Sommelier website this month, packed with just-landed wines. Check out our Women in Wine case, featuring some of our favourite Portuguese and Italian winemakers. Portugal features strongly again in our new Iberia case, along with their Spanish neighbours. We’ve also shone a spotlight on Volcanic Wines, with a case crossing diverse soils, regions, and styles. For those looking for new world wines, we’ve put together some gems in our Brave New World Wine mixed case, focusing on BC, California, Australia, and New Zealand. For lovers of the classics, and/or those who want to build their cellar, don’t miss the small release mixed cases of 2015 Brunello di Montalcino, the most lauded vintage of the past decade. And any collectors or lovers of Barolo will be thrilled with our new Chiara Boschis case, including the newly released Barolo Via Nuova DOCG 2016, scoring a perfect 100 points from Antonio Galloni.
These new mixed cases complement our 9 existing cases on the site, for a total of 15 mixed cases to choose from. View the entire selection here.
These limited edition mixed cases of 6 or 12 bottles were intended for restaurants and special events, and filled with wines not found in the LCBO. Now you can enjoy these special selections in the comfort of your own home, with contactless delivery to your door, anywhere in Ontario. Mixed cases will be shipped within 3-10 business days, and we will coordinate delivery with you directly.

Mixed Case BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO
2015 was a highly lauded vintage for Brunello di Montalcino, with many hailing it the top vintage of recent decades, and a few wines garnering 100 points from various critics. It’s a vintage of power and purity, thanks to a long growing season, with no extreme climatic events.
According to James Suckling, “2015 is a historical year for Brunello di Montalcino that nobody should miss. The wines show impressive precision of vivid fruit, fine tannins and freshness in acidity despite their ripeness and richness which makes them some of the most exciting in years. Nearly all the 2015 Brunello shows complex and beautiful aromas. It is not just ripe fruit when you stick your nose in the glass. The palates of the best show such fine-grained tannins. This wonderful harmony in the nose and palate makes the wines so approachable that you want to drink them now. However, these are Brunellos that will age beautifully for decades ahead making them historical in every sense of the word.”
We are fortunate to work with a few select Montalcino producers, showing diversity across region and styles. The one thing all of our producers have in common, however, is the utmost understanding and respect of their lands, and the unwavering commitment to quality.
6 bottles for $599.00 + HST, including delivery in GTA, and most larger cities in Ontario.

Mixed Case CHIARA BOSCHIS
Chiara Boschis has an incredible story. In a region where women winemakers are exceptionally rare, she has built a collection of wines that is the envy of many, becoming a full-fledged member of the highly respected Barolo Boys.
Chiara now has eleven hectares of vines under cultivation in the communes of Barolo, Serralunga and Monforte d’Alba. She retains the honor of the first female winemaker in the Langhe, an honour she worked hard to achieve back in the 1990s. She is, by necessity, of unquestionable confidence, determination, patience and charm. She ran the estate essentially by herself for twenty years, consistently producing stunning, highly lauded, and ageworthy wines. In 2010, her brother Giorgio, his wife Daniella, and their three daughters joined Chiara at E. Pira, which provided not only a welcome division of labor, but also a next generation of female successors., Beatrice, Elena, and Vittoria Boschis, Giorgio and Daniella’s daughters, are all working in the winery with Chiara.
Hers was the first estate in Cannubi to convert to organic farming, and she has since worked tirelessly over the last few years to convince the rest of the growers in the district to become organic as well.
6 bottles for $885.00 + HST, including delivery in GTA, and most larger cities in Ontario.
*prices outside of main cities may incur additional delivery charges.
Most of our producers are small, independently owned and operated businesses, like ours. You can view our complete portfolio here. Thank you for letting us share these producers and wines with you.
Cheers,
