NOTE DATE CHANGE! This takes place Wed. Oct 22. Toronto Vintners presents wines from some of the top wine wineries in the Mendoza, a majestic grape-growing area of Argentina. Three wineries represented in our tasting have strong influences from French winemakers: Bodegas Poesia which is owned by Bordeaux proprietors; François Lurton, son of a well known Bordeaux owner-grower named André Lurton (of Châteaux Bonnet and Clos Fourtet among others); and Clos de la Siete under the proprietorship of Michel Rolland, an influential Bordeaux-based oenologist, with hundreds of clients across 13 countries, who is influencing wine styles around the world. Catena Zapata from which we have 3 wines is the only winery from Argentina and Chili to be selected by Robert Parker Jr as one of the world’s greatest wineries and their winemaker, Nicolas Catena, is described as Argentina’s greatest visionary in wine-making. Bodegas y Viñedos O. Fournier was founded by José Manuel Ortega and has a sister estate in Ribera del Duero. Navarro Correas is a very large company in Mendoza with a female winemaker at the helm, whose icon wine is the Ultra which we will be tasting. Don't miss this exciting event. The public is welcome to attend.
