He was one of Enostore’s first customers in Western Canada, and he quickly realized the enormous potential that these new technologies could bring to the world of wine.
It was in 2004, during a visit to the Cantine de Greve wine cellar in the Chianti region of Tuscany, that I discovered the Enomatic system, an innovative technology for wine tasting.
The prototype developed in an Italian winery transformed my vision of wine service and allowed me to see a multitude of commercial prospects. A few months later, in December, I was already embarking on the wine-by-the-glass adventure with Canada’s first Enomatic machine.
In 2007, the Enomatic system arrived at the Société des alcools du Québec (SAQ), which uses it at its laboratory branch in Laval—among other locations—to allow customers to taste wine before purchasing. A concept that will quickly be taken up by the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) and in other Canadian provinces.
That same year, the Château Laurier in Quebec City to adopt the system to offer self-service wine, while Novello in Boucherville became one of the first restaurants to offer high-end wine by the glass.
In 2013, Enostore entered the American market, notably through the adoption of the Enomatic system in the Northeastern states. Now well established in the field of professional wine tasting and service, Enostore continues to innovate to meet the most specific needs of its wine connoisseur clientele by developing systems designed for home use.
