Meet Buffalo native Shawn Pearce, who started Familia Vicente Pearce with his Argentine wife, Celia, and taste some of their fine wines.

The Vicente and Pearce families came together when a girl from Mendoza, Argentina met a guy from Buffalo, New York. As kids growing up in Mendoza, Celia and Juan Pablo Vicente helped their grandfather make wine in the backyard. Shawn’s passion started with his wine tasting club in college. FVP started grape farming in 2011 with the purchase of the Azcuénaga Vineyard, planted in 1990 at 2,980 feet (908m) above sea level. Their focus is on high quality single-vineyard wines that reflect their origin here in Lunlunta. They specialize in Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and our Bordeaux-inspired "Corte", a single vineyard red blend.

Featured Wines:

  • 2022 Chardonnay
  • 2023 Gamay rose
  • 2021 Malbec
  • 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon
  • 2018 Corte Blend

This class will be led by co-founder and Buffalo native, Shawn Pearce.

Space is limited, so don't wait to register.

Registration costs $10, but all attendees will receive a $10 voucher to use at the store the day of the event! Light snacks from Premier Gourmet will also be served, and attendees will receive some tasting notes on the items they're sampling.
