Who We Are


We are simply obsessed with wine. Story-telling-wine, that is our vocation. We wake up each day and tell the stories of the people and places and moments that bring a wine to life.


In a glass of wine dwells a thousand stories: the haunting stories of gods, the heroic stories of farmers, the heedless stories of weather. The story of civilization. (And its most uncivilized festivities!)


Wine is a teacher. It teaches the young and old alike: "Everything in moderation—including moderation!" A glass of wine is this ceaseless veiler & unveiler. It is a game of wine-pong between Apollo and Dionysus. It is a bewildering paradox, often its a spiritual tromp through the unknowing, until you turn a corner and there it is, again and again, the eureka crucible of scientific revolutions. It's a minstrel and a monk, a tease and a titan. Where else can you taste a place at a time—a perfectly forgotten day when the sun rose and went down and everyone smiled, or a tragic hailstorm on its careless march. Where else can you taste the reflexive becoming of a farmer's countless choices ricocheting off a plant's beguiling genome. A lifetime conversation between a gardener and a grape vine, the evidence unfurled in a fernlike fractal right inside your nasal cavity, a vapour inside your very skull...


Forgive my rhapsodizing, I've lost track of the question, haven't I...
Who are we at
Vino al Vino? I suppose we should assure the reader that we're indeed hardworking, responsible, business people who know that dollars are made from nickels and to the worker goes the spoils. Yes! We wouldn't have made it this far if we weren't. We're Albertan's after all! But we also couldn't have made it this far without our passion. We are the quixotic souls who decided to make careers out of finding real wine for our communities to toast with and make jokes with and get close with. Or better still, let's say We are the hapless bon vivants—the ones who asked "How many angels can dance on the head of an olfactory bulb?"


You see, we believe in wine.  We believe in a lot of things! But for the intents and purposes of what we do for a living every day, we can boil it down thus:   W e   B e l i e v e   I n   W i n e.


Some wines are simply food. Some wines are happymaking. Some wines are hygge in the organoleptic mode. A good number of wines are aesthetic pleasures on the highest order. A rare few are pure art: heartbreaking, disturbing, elating—mindful and mind-altering.


What we do is we just read a lot of taste a lot and ask a lot of questions and bit by bit we find our way to vigneron/nes that are doing the damn thing: crafting Important and Necessary wines in all-of-the-above modes.  Then we put our money where our mouth is and bring these gems home to Alberta. We bet as big as we can (and it's usually on the little guys). We are a rag tag ensemble of sommeliers and aspiring winemakers and farm brats and big city alley cats dancing the fake-it-till-we-make-it all the way to the wine-fridge. Somehow or other, We Are Importers of Real Wine.
