The Company History

The Beginning

We came to Canada, thirty years ago from the area of Europe where wine was almost a daily part of our diet. Besides that, working in vineyards and wine cellars (well before the Sixty Minutes "French Paradox, Resveratrol and recent findings of anti-aging compounds in wine etc.), our families celebrated ups and downs in life with the grape fermented nectar. Only now we have realized no one in our families left this planet before being well "aged", because of the heart attacks, strokes, atherosclerosis, etc. Yes, we've heard that before...great old times!
Our first steps in the continuity of an old tradition of enjoying the wine - what a sin - started a quater century ago with pressing, locality unknown grapes and making wines from concentrates. Trying to find the old formula of the magic touch alchemy (the medieval attempt to transmute base metals into gold or silver), the results from local grapes and concentrates were less than successful. Imagine, we were losing friends. Their comments were, "We will gladly visit you but please don't serve your great self-made chateaux." What an excellent anti-alcohol tool. We should have patented our product under the slogan "drink our wine and we guarantee you will become a 'Teetotaller' in six weeks." (Similar to today's weight loss commercialism).
The last 27 years of our own research has shown that pure fresh vinifera grape juices yield a superior product. To that end, we have come up with a product that will satisfy the most discerning homewinemaker. This result was achieved in co-operation with the professional winemakers and enologists in different countries. May we present to you as a future customer our single strength 100% pure fresh vinifera grape musts from Europe. They are not concentrates and you don't add any water. Imagine, just squeezing the grapes and collecting the resulting grape juice. This is exactly our product. Not chemically manufactured like concentrated products. They're available 365.25 days of the year.

Origin

We have travelled to five European countries to bring you the best vinifera juice, from each countries' most respected wine producing region. From Italy we import juices from the respected North Italian wineries, Cantina Sociale di Soave and Mezza Corona. From Austria and Hungary we import from Burgenland's well known Heidebodenhof winery and Fertovin in Fertoszentmiklos. In Germany we import from St. Margaret's in Rheinhessen's Lonsheim (Alzey). In France we import from Languedoc's Cave des Corbieres, Riversaltes.

Experience

We have been retailing and wholesaling our pure fresh vinifera grape juices for the past twelve grape harvests. During this time we have come to appreciate our customers' concerns and demands for a high quality product. Our product has been awarded several prestigious prizes in various North American competitions. We are also members of the following organizations: American Society for Enology and Viticulture, Canadian Society of Oenology & Viticulture, American Wine Society, Vinifera Wine Growers Association and the Home Wine & Beer Trade Association (H.W.B.T.A).

Service

Kamil Juices is able to present wholesalers and retailers across North America with an opportunity to offer these high quality juices to their customers. We also retail these juices to the public so that homewinemakers in the vicinity of Southern Ontario can vinify our product. In addition, the Ontario Wine Pub Act allows us to provide our customers with on premises winemaking services. Restauranteurs with the Ontario Wine Pub Act license can vinify our juices on their own premises to produce a superior house reserve at a very attractive price. (Always consult the L.L.B.O. about your possibilities to produce the wine in your restaurant).
