From the Founders
The Queen's Reserve Circle (QRC) was born from a shared vision between two friends, Macgregor and John, bonded by an enduring passion for wine. Growing up in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Macgregor was deeply influenced by the vibrant wine culture that surrounded him, instilling an appreciation for its rich tradition and community. For John, wine was integral to family conversations, highlighting its significance within both personal and professional spheres.
Together, they recognized a unique opportunity at Queen's—a gap where friendships, refined tastes, and intellectual curiosity intersected. They envisioned a club unlike any other in Canada: a place where members could explore exquisite wines and spirits, engage in thoughtful discussions on diverse interests, and participate in exclusive, sophisticated events. Their ambition extended beyond simply tasting wine; they aimed to cultivate camaraderie among a diverse yet like-minded community, welcoming students from all faculties.
