It is unimaginable that a wine grower of such miniscule scale but yet monumental proportion, would be excited to travel to Hawaii to join us. Perhaps there is an “island to island” connection or possibly, because he has never been to Hawaii? The reality is, he has learned that Hawaii is home to some of the most passionate fine wine people on the planet and for those that are in the know, they have already tried to snatch up as many bottles of his wines that they could get their hands on! He is enamored by it, thrilled, and that’s the only excuse that he needed.

Giovanni Montisci has earned a cult-like following for his wines, while establishing himself as one of Italy’s greatest winemakers. The size of his holdings is tiny, a mere four hectares of organically farmed vines that are painstakingly tended to at dizzying altitudes, in the heart of Sardegna’s mountainous interior. 

His Cannonau (Grenache) bottlings rival some of the finest wines from Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the Rhône, and Priorat in Spain. His Cannonau Rosato is one of the most electric and awe-inspiring rosé’s that you will ever have, and his whites of Vermentino, Moscato, and Granazza, will be unlike any wines that you have ever experienced.

Please join us for an extraordinary walk through the vineyards with Giovanni Montisci, Anthony Lynch, and our panel of Master Sommeliers. This will a once in a lifetime opportunity a profound discovery.
