Our guest for the evening is Juan Carlos Pagola, Commercial Director, North America, Almaviva.
ABOUT ALMAVIA: In 1997, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild, Chairman of the Advisory Board of Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA, and Eduardo Guilisasti Tagle, Chairman of Viña Concha y Toro S.A., sealed a partnership agreement with a view to create an exceptional Franco-Chilean wine called Almaviva. Produced under the joint technical supervision of both partners, the first vintage achieved immediate international success upon its launch in 1998. Made from a blend of classic Bordeaux varieties, in which Cabernet Sauvignon predominates, Almaviva is the result of a felicitous encounter between two cultures. Chile offers its soil, its climate and its vineyards, while France contributes its winemaking savoir-faire and traditions.

Legendary chef and founder of Two Chefs, Jan Jorgensen, has created a superb menu to match the outstanding reds above to be introduced at this event. Members may remember our last stag event at Two Chefs [100 Point Stag] where Jan superbly complemented the event's headliner 1982 La Mission Haut Brion.
