Crushable

Come over for a glass of wine.Well... five.CRUSHABLE isn't hosted in a restaurant, winery or event space. It's hosted in my home.Think less "wine class" and more "your friend who happens to know a lot about Canadian wine invited you over for an evening of incredible bottles, cheese, conversation and stories."If you've ever found wine intimidating, you're exactly who I created this experience for.No one is going to ask what aromas you're getting. No one's judging how you hold your glass. And I promise you'll never hear the phrase "wet river stones" unless we're making fun of it.Instead, we'll spend the evening discovering some of Canada's most exciting wines together.A Night at CRUSHABLEYou'll join a small group around my table as we taste our way across Canada's wine regions—from Ontario and British Columbia to Nova Scotia and beyond.Along the way I'll introduce you to the people making these wines, explain why Canadian wine deserves far more attention than it gets, and hopefully convince you to leave room in your wine rack for a few new favourites.This isn't about memorizing tasting notes.It's about discovering wines you'll actually want to drink again.What's Included-Five carefully curated Canadian wines-Local cheese and charcuterie pairings-Stories about the wines, regions and the people behind them-An intimate tasting hosted in my Toronto home-Plenty of conversation, laughter and questions-My friendly dog, Dottie, who considers herself the unofficial host of every tastingEvery experience features a different lineup of wines, so returning guests always have something new to discover.Meet Your HostI'm Laura Batten, founder of CRUSHABLE, sommelier, Canadian wine writer and someone who's spent more than a decade trying to convince people that Canadian wine is wildly underrated.I've been fortunate to share that mission through my writing and media appearances.As seen in:• ELLE Canada• Toronto Life• The Globe and Mail• The Hub• CBC• Wines in Niagara• Fashion
