Delivered by...
Sommelier and Prince Edward County winemaker, Freddie discovered his passion for wine in Manchester, UK, at Ivy Asia. In January 2020, he relocated to Toronto, a move that ultimately led him to Prince Edward County. He worked his way up to Assistant Winemaker and worked five consecutive vintages, crafting premium Chardonnay and Pinot Noir—wines now featured on the lists of over 40 Michelin-starred restaurants across Europe. During this time, he also achieved his WSET Level 4 Diploma, one of the wine world’s most recognised qualifications, mastering both theory and tasting.
Testimonials
I recently attended an Italian dinner where Fred handled the wine
pairings, and I have to say—it was excellent. His knowledge of wine is
impressive, and the way he explained each pairing with short stories and
context made it both informative and entertaining.
No long speeches, just the right amount of detail to keep it
interesting.
The food and wine were both top quality. You could tell a lot of thought
went into the matches—each one brought something extra to the dish.
What made the evening really stand out was how personal and relaxed it
felt. It wasn’t a big, noisy event. It was small, intimate, and had a
great atmosphere. You could ask questions, have a proper conversation,
and actually enjoy the experience.
Fred did a great job. I’d gladly attend another evening like this.
