Wallace K. Fraser
Sommelier
Vincor Canada
A Constellation Company
As the Sommelier for Canada’s and the world’s leading wine company, Constellation Brands Inc., Wallace Fraser has extensive knowledge of both local and national wine trends. He has strong relationships throughout the wine industry and hospitality business in Nova Scotia, the Atlantic provinces and across Canada. He is co-founder and past President of the Association of Sommeliers of the Atlantic Provinces (now CAPS Atlantic) and a past Cellar Master for the Atlantic Chapter of the International Sommelier Guild. For over twenty five years, he has managed the food and beverage operations of a number of fine dining restaurants, a major resort hotel, two yacht clubs and three of his own restaurants.
He is a certified sommelier by The International Sommelier Guild and has led many wine tastings for both clients and sommelier guild colleagues. In 2000, Mr. Fraser was made an “Honorary Harvester” and participated in the grape harvest at Chateau Mouton Rothschild. Mr. Fraser has earned a Diploma in Wine and Food Dynamics from the Culinary Institute of America at Napa Valley. He has taken cooking courses in Nice and was invited by the Sommelier Association of Nice to their supplier tastings and CPV Wine Show.
His extensive knowledge, creative flair and keen appreciation of quality service, fine foods, wines and spirits have led to the establishment of some of Halifax, Nova Scotia’s finest dining establishments, including his own Rosco’s in the late 80’s, Ryan Duffy’s and La Maison.
Wallace continues to embrace his loves of food, wine and travel with the opening of many fine and not so fine bottles of wine at home and abroad.
Wine country is his favourite country to visit and to this end some of his travels have included among others Napa, the Okanagan, Niagara, Bordeaux, the Rhone, Veneto, Tuscany, Sonoma, Lodi and Nova Scotia’s own wine regions.
