Sommelier & Wine Curator
In-house Sommelier Ryan Zanette grew up in Florida before moving back to Ontario to pursue a career in the winemaking industry. After graduating from the Winemaking and Viticulture program at Niagara College, Zanette went overseas to Europe to complete a vintage, working at various establishments in England and in the Mosel.
Upon his return in 2016, he was instrumental in several successful initiatives with VQA Wines of Ontario and Wine Country Ontario brands before joining the University Club of Toronto. Now, Zanette spearheads the Club’s robust wine program, offering Members his expertise as they grow their collections and their palettes.
