What You Receive

Every Case Is Built Around a Region

Each Masters Case centres on a single wine region — giving you depth, context, and a genuine sense of place rather than a random mixed selection.

6
Bottles per Case

A curated selection of wines all sourced from or themed around the featured region of the cycle.

10
Cases per Year

Delivered across Opimian’s annual cellar cycle schedule — giving you a new regional focus roughly every five weeks.

8
Masters of Wine

The world’s most rigorous wine qualification. Your selections are guided by eight of Canada’s foremost wine experts.

Why The Masters Case

More Than a Mixed Case

Most wine subscriptions send you a random assortment. The Masters Case takes a different approach — every bottle has a reason, and every case tells a story about a place.

  • Region-focused curation

    Each case is built around one featured wine region — Burgundy, the Rhône, Rioja, Marlborough. You come away knowing a place, not just a bottle.

  • Guided by Masters of Wine

    The Masters of Wine credential requires passing one of the world’s hardest exams. Your wine is chosen by eight of them — on your behalf.

  • Wines you won’t find in stores

    Opimian sources directly from independent producers across 13 countries and 120 regions. These bottles aren’t on LCBO or SAQ shelves.

  • Producer context & tasting notes

    Every case comes with detailed notes on the region, the producers, and what to look for when you open each bottle.
