Virtual Tastings
IWFS VIRTUAL TASTINGS
As an additional benefit to our members, IWFS Americas works with wine and spirits experts around the world to create exclusive tasting kits and to lead online presentations and tastings. These sessions may focus on a specific producer, a type of beverage, or a specific geographic region. No purchase is necessary, and everyone can participate. These tastings are very educational and entertaining even if the tasting kits are unavailable in your area. We hope you - and your friends - can join us at an upcoming event. Please check the schedule below, and also enjoy the recordings of past tastings.
- Thursday, May 15 - "Chappellet: The Pioneers of Napa's Pritchard Hill"
- Saturday, June 28 - "The Wines of Piemonte"
- Sunday, August 10 - "Exploring the World's Most Dangerous Spirit: Absinthe"
- Tuesday, September 30 - "Rhone White Wines"
- Thursday, November 13 - "Henriot Champagne"
OUR NEXT VIRTUAL TASTING
The next IWFS Virtual Tasting will be on Thursday, May 15, at 5pm pt/8pm et. We will explore "Chappellet: The Pioneers of Napa's Pritchard Hill" with winemaker Phillip Corallo-Titus and co-owner and COO Dominic Chappellet. The sold-out IWFS Napa Valley Festival will visit the Chappellet winery a week earlier, so this tasting will bring the flavor of the festival to our full membership!
For our event, Chappellet is offering an exclusive trio of wines at a price not available to the public. The three 750ml bottles are:
- 2021 Hideaway Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
- 2021 Signature Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
- 2023 Signature Chenin Blanc Napa Valley
The price for all three delivered is $290 - a savings of $80 from retail. (CA residents will be charged sales tax.) You can order the wines here. Deadline for ordering, to ensure timely delivery, is Monday, May 5.
As always, no purchase is necessary to participate in the tasting.
(Special thanks to IWFS member Tim Cronan for helping to arrange this event.)
Cheers!
