Ken Chase

His formal education in Canada was at Loyola of Montreal and then the University of Freiburg in Germany. His wine studies focused in France, Germany and Italy where he lived and studied for eight years. These formative years in the vineyard gave Ken a yearning to see how the rest of the world made wine and through different apprenticeship programs he began to study throughout the classical wine growing regions of Europe.

Born and raised in Montreal, Ken is fluent in French, English and German. These three languages made his cultural adaptation very easy. Ken consults world wide on many wine projects and runs his business from his office in Oakville, Ontario Canada. His educational programs on wine are keeping him busy as he travels the world expounding on wine and how simplistic and fun it can be. He is currently Chairman of Toast of Humanity, one of the most unique and ambitious cause branding promotions in the wine and wine-releated industry today. It is his dream to take the mystery out of wine and share his passion with others.
