There are three opportunities to sample and learn about wines from Uruguay for trade and media personnel in Washington DC, New York City, and Boston.
“From a small corner of South America, Uruguayan wines are rich in complex flavors and offer a unique heritage and winemaking style. Join us for a small, focused walkaround tasting highlighting wines from 16 exceptional producers and light appetizers, set within La Cosecha, voted one of America’s Top 50 Best Wine Retailers in 2021.
Uruguay is on the brink of a wine revolution. A collection of local winemaking families as well as international investment and interest has brought this small country from its Basque/Italian immigrant roots into the 21st century. Tannat is still the red wine king here, but Albariño and other unique varieties like Marselan have taken hold as Uruguayan winemakers explore the possibilities of taste and terroir.
Space is limited for this intimate tasting, advance registration is required. Complimentary for qualified wine trade and media only”.
