ABOUT US

We are one of the first wine sites. Since the dawn of the web, we've been visiting wine regions and their best wineries to bring you our experiences and wines that appeal to our passions.

Our publisher is known as The Wine Baron. He started off in the computer business, specializing in software and then e-commerce. As founder of Symantec's first international office, he pioneered new markets and channels for software. Then it was on to riding the wave of explosive growth in the development of websites and web-based applications. At that time, the Wine Baron in Training discovered the wonderfully cultural world of wine. Being a web guy, he started a wine web page. This quickly grew to a full blown website.  We're now one of the most popular online resources about wine regions and what they have to offer. We're still a small group of individuals. This is no large corporation!  The Wine Baron and his team of writers are based in Niagara, Bordeaux and Vienna.

You are welcome to enjoy our resources:

  • We're a free site about wine regions and wineries; drop in often to learn more about wine and our travels.
  • You can purchase our favorite wines ("The Wine Baron's Picks") for delivery in Ontario or via a US distributor.
  • We design and implement websites and digital marketing programs for wineries.

Contact Us

Cheers,

The Wine Baron and Team.
