Winery famous for its Piscos from different kind of grapes and for its long aging wines. Actually it has a Cabernet Reserva undergoing which is still in oak but the preview was fabulous.
This is the first winery in Peru created in 1540. Interesting was to taste its Gran Tinto 2015, which couple weeks after won the Silver Medal at the Vinales Internationales Competition in France. Soon you can read our tasting notes.
Unique chance to taste well known wines like Sassicaia 2013, and some preview like Pio Cesare Barolo 2013. Impressive were the two Barolo Riserva 2007 tasted at the event; they where able to express what real Barolo means and why we have to wait 10 years before open them. If you taste it...you want it.
Joel has its winery in Moloun in Bordeaux and produces really good Bordeaux Superiour. Not only it is the owner of its vines but it is also the winemaker. Nobody better than him knows his wines. Be prepare... 2015 is a great year.
Glass makes the difference ... Nothing could be more true ... you can understand what it means attending Riedel's seminar. Fine wines served on joker glass seem to be flat and without personality; when poured and served in its appropriate glass, they are able to release all what they have. Aromas, flavors boost to a level that make you say: "Oh yes, this is a worthy wine".
There are a lot of vineyards and vineries in Virginia, but what catch our attention about this small winery is that it is build over the passion of its owner. Assisted by winemaker Matthieu Finot which is originally from Burgundy, but he has also given his service to vineyards in South Africa, Italy, as well as California, they have create wines which style remind a lot the characteristics of the old world wines.
If in December you have a strong desire to visit a winery and take a real good glass of fresh Pinot Gris (which we suggest you to do) this is the right place. Why? Because they have a unique greenhouse with a lot of tropical plants and birds. Outside could be snowing but inside you are feeling like you are in a Caribbean Island.
Veritas Winery is a real important winery in the Virginian wine panorama. Not only its location makes it a real paradise for the lovers of the wineries tourism, but it is a serious wine producer which portfolio includes also fine sparkling wines which can compete with all world sparkling wines.

In this Masterclass has been discussed the difference and the importance of wines such us Morgon, Moulin a Vent, Fleurie , Julienas and other less famous but not less interesting.
Tejo maybe is not the most famous wine region of Portugal, but underestimate the potentiality and the quality of its wines is a huge mistake. In this Masterclass has been introduced the grapes that are produced in the region and we had the opportunity to taste wines from these grapes.

Gabriele is the "Father" of the modern Vineries in Virginia. His arrive in the area in the 70s change completely the way how the wine is made Virginia. Many of the vineyards in the area (and not only in the area) ask him to supervise their production as winemaker as well on the vineyards. Find his vineyard is difficult because focused more on produce wines that drink, he has "forgotten" to put any sign in front the gate of his vineyard.
Jefferson Vineyard is a wonderful and relaxing area to enjoy a glass of good wine. Their wines are made with passion form a staff of young people that found on wine first a passion and only after a source of income. Another good news is that if you fall in love for their wines, not only you are welcomed back at the vineyards but also you can find them in the most important wine stores.
