They Called Alvento Amazing

2010-05-13

Sitting in a restaurant recently, I overheard someone at the next table tell the others that he was ordering a bottle of Alvento “Vio”.The first response was….who??? what???

Thankfully there was one person at the table who had experienced Vio before and I assumed he liked it because he replied “Alvento is a little known winery in Niagara Canada that makes amazing wines and the one that’s on this list is a Viognier called “Vio”.

He continued, “I can promise you that if you don’t love this wine I’ll personally pay for any other bottle on the list”.

I now boldly looked around their table and noticed a few smug looks.

Needless to say I wouldn’t be telling you this story if the outcome was in favor of those looking smug.

Two bottles later, the adjectives made me wish I had a tape recorder with me.

“This wine truly is amazing” ….“elegant, full of flavors, superb”

“How is it that I've never heard of Alvento?”

“Where can I buy it?”

The above incident took place in London England sometime in April 2010, at a restaurant that doesn’t just buy labels, only quality and value.

Are the wines of Alvento really amazing? Many people think so.

Find out for yourself. Click here to order or better still come on out to the winery.
Two minutes off the QEW’s Victoria exit in Vineland.
