Algodon Wine Tasting in NYC

We had a great turnout at Union Square Wines. There were about 100 people who attended the event. Thank you all for coming! It was a very successful night, and our guests of honor from San Rafael, Mendoza included our partners at the Bombal & Aldao Winery, Camilo Aldao and his wife Luisa; as well as our terrific winemaker, Mauro Nosenzo; and our Director of Project Development, Tourism & Hospitality (Algodon Wine Estates) and Head of Food & Beverage (Algodon Mansion), Diego Coll Benegas. Camilo got up to address the crowd, and was very personable. As for the wine; crowd favorites, so I’m told, seemed to be the Cab/Syrah, and the French Oaked Chardonnay. However I’m particularly partial to the Bonarda, myself. Click here to watch a video picture album of the night’s highlights.

I just received a wonderful email from Camilo, who said that our 2008 harvest is an outstanding one and that we can expect an exceptional Malbec, in particular, after its oak barrel aging. We are also moving forward with a strategy to cultivate and create the best wines our wineries have ever produced by including the utilization of the highest quality casks, optimum grape selection, and getting rid of anything that is not perfect.
