Since 1978, Lifford has proudly represented some of the world's finest wineries in Ontario. We offer wines of exceptional value from dedicated producers with an emphasis on family owned wineries. A pioneer of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario’s consignment program, Lifford has grown to be the largest supplier of premium wine to restaurants and discerning consumers in the province.
In 2010, Lifford became a national agent in Canada with our acquisition of Saverio Schiralli Agencies, an iconic company founded in 1953. The Schiralli portfolio features many of Italy's best with the addition of a superb collection of liqueurs and spirits. In 2011, the acquisition of Prevedello and Mathews further strengthened our management team and our portfolio.
This year, our combined companies will sell more than 800,000 cases in Canada. We are the market leader in Ontario as the largest supplier of premium wines to the LCBO.
As grano prepares to celebrate its 24th anniversary, we are grateful for the role that Lifford has played. Their staff, knowledge, service, great and active relationship with suppliers, philanthropic initiatives…all contribute to making them a great “partner” in our restaurant.
Luxury in the Luxury Market
We are very fortunate to hold some of California’s finest, most respected and most consistent wineries within our portfolio. Here are two wines of luxury that are of older vintage and showing very nicely today. They are both out of Napa Valley and are attractive additions to your cellar.
