Joris Gutierrez Garcia has been crowned Canada's Best Sommelier 2023! This award adds to the gallery of honours for this sommelier, who earlier this year won the title of Best Sommelier of Quebec. But this competitive sommelier has no intention of resting on his laurels... In 2025, he will take part in the Best Sommelier of the Americas competition! 

This year, Joris has hosted several SAQ and LCBO training sessions for DO Ribera Duero wines, making him an ideal ambassador for the region. Congratulations Joris!
