What Clients Have To Say
If we would rate wine writers like we do wine, Charles Byers would rate near the top in credibility, just ahead of his love and knowledge of wine.
Chuck was one of the first true believers in the new VQA wines and the agritourism evolving with them. He continues to be one of our most genuine supporters, as this book surely confirms."

Ocala Winery Ltd. has long recognized the enthusiasm that Chuck Byers has felt for the Ontario wine industry and its products. We have been honoured by his support of the small, family-run winery. His honest passion for wine is evident each time he raises his glass.
I have often heard that Chuck Byers is happiest when he is recognized not simply as a prolific wine writer and author, but also as a “terrific wine entertainer!” This, indeed, is the Chuck I know, and aptly sums up the passion he shows for his work and how he makes everyone comfortable tasting and talking about wine, whether they are connoisseurs or brand new to the experience. Chuck’s infectious enthusiasm in both his writing and at the many wine tasting events that he hosts, has introduced countless Canadians to the fun of tasting wines at all price points. He is also a tireless promoter of homegrown products and for this, our industry is extremely grateful as he devotes so much time on television, radio, and in the printed word extolling the strengths of our wine-growing regions in Ontario and British Columbia. Chuck is a wonderful teacher and a great friend to the wine industry.
Chuck made the client evening an unparalleled success: his relaxed style, impeccable taste, and extraordinary knowledge of wine turned a great meal into an unforgettable night. Not only was the evening educational, but the discussions also concentrated on each selected wine’s characteristics, heritage, and origin. It was one of the best food and wine parings in a series of wine events. We have had a lot of enthused comments about Chuck and I assured him that he will be remembered. I look forward to using his services again in the future.
