TORONTO, Nov. 19, 2014 /CNW/ - Two Toronto tastemakers and wine enthusiasts have entered the digital space in order to bring the world of good wine right to your front door via the online realm.
Together, Dick Snyder, owner and editor of CityBites Magazine and wine enthusiast Justyn Szymczyk, are on path to change the way people enjoy good wine with kwäf.ca, an online source for high quality sommelier-selected wines that are not available at the LCBO.
How It Works
The experts at kwäf set out to Canada's finest wineries and vet the country's most exceptional wines. When they encounter a wine that meets their standards, they partner with the winery to obtain an exclusive price available only to kwäf subscribers (a service that is currently free).
The premium and sommelier-approved wines can only be found on the kwäf.ca site and can be ordered right to your front door. Each delivery from kwäf arrives with tasting notes, food-pairing suggestions and some information about the wine in order to enhance the learning and appreciation experience right from the comfort of your own home. Shipments are currently available in Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta, British Columbia and Nova Scotia.
"Kwäf is for people who really love wine and love to try new wine. It doesn't matter if they're connoisseurs or not. People who love wine know when they find something they love and they know it right away. We want to give them those opportunities to discover" says co-founder Dick Snyder.
