hello

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.  

OUR NEXT VIRTUAL TASTING

Dear IWFS Member,

I'm excited to announce the Virtual Tasting "Four Expressions of Montalcino," which will be held on Saturday, March 28, at noon pt/3pm et. Our speaker is Tuscan wine expert, Claudia Callegari, who will be joining us that day from Italy. For the tasting, Claudia has hand-picked four Brunello wines from the different corners of Montalcino, to contrast the styles and stories of producers in the region. 

All the wines are from the excellent 2019 vintage, in 750ml bottles, and are not readily available in the United States. This is a special opportunity to be able to drink like a Tuscan local!

The price for the tasting kit, shipping and taxes included, is $450. To buy these wines please click here. To allow for overseas shipping from Italy, the cut-off date for timely delivery is Sunday, February 22. (You can order as late as Thursday, March 5, and still receive the wines in time, but there will be an additional charge of $35 for expedited shipping.)

As always, no purchase is necessary to participate in the tasting.

Cheers!

Neal Vitale, Virtual Tastings Chair
