All About Renée Sferrazza

Wine is my passion and the journey is never-ending. My goal is always to tell the stories behind the glass. How a wine was made, who made it, and what you can experience in the glass. From my work in social media to my writing style and even on TV wine personality, I try to show that wine is for everyone by breaking down the world of wine into simple sips.

✨Ever had a moment where everything just fell apart? We’ve all been there.
💥This year had the chance to share one of my own epic fails at Fuckup Nights Toronto. It was a humbling, hilarious, and ultimately empowering experience. Standing in front of a crowd, I opened up about the time I thought I had it all figured out—only to realize I had a lot to learn.

In this journey, I’ve come to see that it’s not about avoiding mistakes, but about embracing them, learning, and growing from every setback. Sharing this story wasn’t just about reliving a past failure, but about connecting with others who’ve been through the same—and reminding everyone that behind every success, there’s a good story of things going wrong first.

Check out the full talk in my #LinkInBio and join the conversation! Because in the end, it’s our fuckups that push us to be better, stronger, and more resilient. 💪

🥂#ThrowBackThursday with some super cute memories sipping on IGP Pays d’Oc wine with @togotricks - he is officially a wine dog now!

🤩The day started with a fun meet & greet at Garrison Park, where Togo made some new furry friends, and we got some amazing photos thanks to the incredibly talented pet photographer on site. After that, we headed over to @maisontbistro for a wine tasting that was as educational as it was delicious. Sommelier and fellow dog lover Heather McDougall @highacidreds walked us through a selection of Mediterranean wines from @paysdocigpwines perfectly paired with some mouthwatering bites.

🐕The atmosphere was so laid-back and welcoming, and it was fantastic to enjoy great wine while surrounded by so many other dog lovers. We even got to take home a framed photo of Togo and me, along with some thoughtful goodies for both of us.

🙌Huge thanks to everyone who made this event happen—it was such a special way to kick off the summer. If you missed it this time, I highly recommend keeping an eye out for the next one. Here’s to more days filled with wine, sunshine, and wagging tails! 🍷🐾

🚨New Article Drop in @ddmtoronto - 💐🍷Aroma Alchemy: Unveiling The Floral Notes in @magnottawinery Wines 💐🍷

👉Head to my #LinkInBio to read the full article.
😉But here is a bit of a sneak peak
.

✨In the world of wine, the connection between floral aromas and flavour profiles is a fascinating realm that blends science and artistry. Magnotta Winery, one of Canada’s largest wine producers, stands out for its exceptional wines and innovative and unique approach to winemaking, a topic we’ll explore later.
By exploring the intricate relationship between their wines and floral notes, we can uncover a deeper appreciation for Magnotta’s unique offerings. This winemaking family is not just a part of the fabric of Ontario winemaking. They are the thread that weaves it together. Their wines, with their rich history, compelling story, spirit of innovation, deep passion, and unique connection from bottle to bottle, bring more to the table. They unveil a different side of Magnotta that few can discover, making each sip a journey of discovery.

✨I always love doing events! They are the moments where I share my vision of wine and passion for what is in the glass and truly bring that to life.
🥂I have always been a big fan of doing the unexpected. I am not one to do classics, and my events are not either. We are going ethos-driven, we are pushing new experiences, and we are doing something new!
.
🍷This is just a snapshot from last week’s Aroma Alchemy: Unveiling Magnotta’s Wines Through Flowers Event. This week, I will drop more #BTS and get more into the ethos behind the event itself.
.
🤩The driving vision behind this event was story telling. The wines of Magnotta tell a story. One of culture, community, philanthropy, love and wine, every bottle is like a new chapter. An OG Ontario winery, Magnotta makes a staggering amount of award-winning wines, and from bottle to bottle, the more you dive into this winery’s captivating story.
.
🥂This event explored ten wines, both classic and non-alc.
💐Dove into the aromas and story of a winery through flowers
✨And brought to light stories that might have been forgotten.

🙏For everyone who attended, thank you!
👉For those wanting to be in the know for next time, DM me

😉Stay tuned for more
💁🏻‍♀️When was the last time you had a bottle by Magnotta?
