trialto wine tastings by guest wine consultant Ray perchaluk

11/27/2014

This is part of a tasting I had at the Trialto distributor’s office. Trialto the distributor only sells wine. No beer, spirits or coolers are in their portfolio. Their head office is in British Columbia but their Ontario staff works out of downtown Toronto. 


Usually people don’t really know the true value of a great distributor. Not only do they select great wines from around the world but reject wines that will not add value to their portfolio, hence value to you, the customer. You can buy directly from them. 


True, the sales transaction still goes through the LCBO, but Trialto will deliver to your house. Trialto wisely has a lot of tastings which you can get in on if you add your email address to their database.
