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

Our next Virtual Tasting is "A Sublime Session with the Seillans" on Thursday, May 28, at 5pm pt/8pm et. We will be joined by two members of the legendary winemaking Seillans family -- Hélène and Nicolas, children of sixth-generation vigneron Pierre -- as we explore their wines from Bordeaux, Tuscany, and California.

We have assembled a quartet of outstanding wines (750ml, except as noted) for our tasting, offered at a very attractive price:

    • 2022 Anakota Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon  
    • 2021 Château Lassègue Saint-Émilion Grand Cru
    • 2018 Tenuta di Arceno Arcanum
    • 2019 Vérité La Joie (375ml)

The cost of this package of wines is $250, a discount of 50% off suggested retail pricing. To order, click here and enter promo code IWFS_SEILLAN. Please place your order no later than Friday, May 15, to ensure delivery for the tasting.

These are wonderful wines to pair with food. Pierre Seillans and Ariane Daguin grew up in the same neighborhood, and the business she founded --  D'Artagnan Foods -- is a great resource for specialty food items perfectly suited to accompany these wines. 

As always, no purchase is necessary to participate in our Virtual Tastings.

Cheers!
