Wine is better when it surprises you. On Rotation is a biweekly flight series to do just that; four pours, no pressure, and something new every time.

Hosted by Bossanova’s own Nate Cross, each flight is a chance to taste outside your comfort zone: styles you might not reach for on your own, regions worth knowing, and new arrivals the team is genuinely excited to share. With only 10 seats per flight, there’s plenty of room to ask questions and get into it. Whether you’re deepening your knowledge or just curious what’s in the glass, On Rotation is an easy way in.

Four wines. Biweekly. Always changing. tickets at bossanova.to

🇪🇸 Discover the under-represented pockets of Spain every wine lover should know about, shared by an expert. 🇪🇸

Spain is a ’sleeping giant’ of wine, slowly waking up to be discovered by the world. Vineyards, terroirs and traditions linking back hundreds (and sometimes thousands) of years are being reinterpreted by a energized, younger generation of winemakers, making some of the most exceptional and undervalued wines in the world — and in the process finding links between the past and present in surprising, vibrant wines full of depth and nuance.

🗓️ - Thursday, March 26th
🕢 - 7:30 to 9:00
📍 - 103 Roncesvalles Ave
🎟️ - (link in bio)

In addition to serving Bossanova's clientele, Brad Hall has spent year's representing one of Ontario's most authoritative importers of Spanish wines.

Enjoy six (6) guided samples over 90 minutes, while tapping into Brad's deep, on-the-ground knowledge of the criminally hidden parts of Spain.
