The Castilla-La Mancha US Tour will stop in Atlanta, Chicago and New York in May, and
San Francisco, San Diego, and Seattle in July
Featuring Tasting Seminars and a Walk-Around Grand Tasting in Each City
New York, April 16, 2012 – Just as local ‘celebrity’, Don Quixote,
traveled through his region seeking adventure and noble experiences,
guests at the Castilla-La Mancha US tastings will do the same as they
discover the wines of 26 participating producers. The tour will visit
Atlanta, Chicago and New York during the week of May 21st and continue
to San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle during the week of July 9th.
Each of these events will offer opportunities to experience the wines,
foods, music and traditions of this distinctive region. The events will
welcome members of US wine and food trade and press.
Castilla-La Mancha is the most expansive wine-producing region in
the world. It is a land of fascinating foods and cultural traditions
and, naturally, a wide variety of wines. The land, composed of limestone
clay and a great variety of subsoils, makes the region ideal for
growing grape vines. Within the Castilla-La Mancha area, we find nine
appellations of origin, four estates with their own appellations and
many ‘Geographical Indication Wines’.
“The amount of focus and investment in quality wine production
throughout the region of Castilla-La Mancha in the past few decades has
been astounding. There is much for the US trade to discover about the
quality and diversity of our wines,” said Paloma Juncos, of the Foreign
Trade Institute of Castilla-La Mancha, which is organizing the US
program.
Each event will commence with a seminar, conducted in Atlanta by Gil
Kulers, CWE and in Chicago and New York by Doug Frost, MS, MW (one of
only three people in the world to hold both titles). The speakers will
share with the trade and press the winemaking history of the region of
Castilla-La Mancha, the technical qualities of its wines, and the sales
opportunity for these wines in the US market. Each seminar will be
followed by an afternoon walk-around tasting enhanced by regional foods
and live entertainment.
The participating wineries include Altolandon, Arúspide, Bodega los
Aljibes, Bodega Pardo Tolosa, Bodega San Gines, Bodega Virgen de las
Nieves, Bodegas Arrayan, Bodegas Camino Alto, Bodegas del Muni, Bodegas
La Remediadora, Bodegas Piqueras, Bodegas Romero de Ávila Salcedo,
Bodegas Saac, Bodegas Vitivinos, Bodegas y Viñedos Sánchez Muliterno,
