When you miss your own party! 😔 Anyways here is why I am here! After the AEC African Energy Week, my friend Grace Orife surprised me with a winery visit. The setting was serene, with lush vineyards and a cozy terrace. We had an amazing meal at the des overlooking the beautiful landscape, tasted exquisite wines, and I bought a few bottles to take home. It was relaxing, thoughtful, and something I’d gladly do again. Recommendations for Visiting a Winery • Take a Guided Tour: Learn about the winemaking process. • Try Wine Tasting: Sample different varieties to discover your favorites. • Choose Outdoor Seating: Enjoy the view and fresh air. • Ask Questions: Engage with staff about pairings and flavors. • Buy Quality Wine: Take a piece of the experience home. Take pictures- especially like me…😜

🚨 Bing! Amazing Wine Alert 🚨 Spirits Sourcery is not just about discovering the world’s rarest bottles; we are also enthusiastic about finding hidden gems that punch well above their price tag! 🌟 With 42,000 bottles rated on Vivino, you will find everything from the undrinkable to legends like the 1945 Romanée-Conti. (They only made six hundred bottles but yes, we can supply those if you are interested! 😉) But the real thrill? Uncovering wines that over-deliver in every way—like Castillejos from Calvente Winery. 🍷 This remarkable wine has not only featured in the top 1% on Vivino of all wines produced globally but has also graced tables at numerous 3-star Michelin restaurants in Spain. Calvente is a family-owned winery nestled in the stunning mountains of Granada, southern Spain. The passion they pour into their craft shines through in every sip. Although widely distributed across Europe, Calvente offers a unique opportunity for expansion, including in travel retail where there is no representation currently. They may not be a household name yet outside of Spain, but their authenticity and dedication are unmatched. 🌍✨ With the travel retail community about to descend en masse to Cannes for TFWA in the next few weeks, now is the perfect time to share this opportunity. If you are a progressive operation and searching for a partner brand that values quality, collaboration, and storytelling, then please get in touch. #WineDiscovery #CalventeWinery #SpiritsSourcery #HiddenGems #WineLovers #QualityOverQuantity #WineBusiness

BEYOND BORDEAUX, the fourth episode of Inside La Place de Bordeaux by ARENI Global, discusses a pivotal moment in the history of La Place: the exact moment when the fine wine market became a truly international fine wine market. Twenty years ago, wines from countries like Chile, Argentina and Australia accounted for less than one half of one percent of the global fine wine trade altogether — despite the presence of Almaviva and Opus One on La Place. But all that changed in 2010, towards the end of the global financial crisis. The rise of less expensive airfares due to cheap oil prices, and more affordable accommodation options like Airbnb led to the rise of gastrotourism with its focus on visiting the best restaurants in the world. At the same time, both executives and tourists alike started visiting premium wineries directly – and they wanted to experience these wines again once they got back home. By 2016, approximately 30 million bottles of foreign wines were being consumed in France, a figure that wouldn’t have seemed possible just ten years earlier, when “fine wine” in France was limited to Bordeaux and Burgundy and occasionally Champagne. A greater need for global distribution became clear – and La Place de Bordeaux was in the perfect position to respond to this need. #BeyondBordeaux #Bordeaux #LaPlace #ARENI Enjoy the fourth episode of this acclaimed series featuring Pauline Vicard, co-founder and executive director of ARENI Global, and editorial director Felicity Carter by listening here: https://lnkd.in/eRupckG8

"When I run into people not using Tripleseat, I bend their ear and tell them it will change their life. I meet with a lot of venues here in Northern California, and I tell them what a timesaver it has been, how helpful it has been with reporting, how it has helped us bring so much more revenue in, how it helps us communicate with clients - it’s such a valuable tool, and I can say with confidence that our event program would not be where it is without Tripleseat." - Johanna Holm, Director of Marketing and Events at Elusa Winery Locals and travelers alike visit Napa Valley’s Elusa Winery to experience its incredible wines through wine tastings, facility tours, and private events. Elusa Winery has grown its private event offerings – hosting wine dinners, receptions, and private tastings - for social and corporate clientele. Since implementing Tripleseat to streamline the event management process, Elusa Winery has tripled its annual private event revenue, cementing private events as a substantial part of its business. We sat down with Johanna Holm to learn about her experience using Tripleseat to manage Elusa Winery's growing private events program.

Can you believe it has been a week since we closed the doors on the final event of our national, five-city tour of LANGTONS Classification of Australian Wine Eighth Edition? Over 2500 guests, RIEDEL glass in hand, took to the red carpet, passed the Vintec Wine Cabinets and tasted from the 4837 opened bottles of Australia's best and finest wines as we landed what are, without doubt, the best wine-tasting events in Australia. We are immensely grateful to our winery and industry partners for helping us deliver this mammoth effort. We have been waiting to host these events since we last did so in 2018. And the wines. Oh! The wines. Over 100 of them. A is for Arras EJ Carr Late Disgorged. We like to open our events with fizz, and, naturally, we were at the top of the tree for the Classification series. B is for Bass Phillip tasted next to Bindi, an elite-level masterclass in distinct Australian terroirs. C is for Classified Chardonnay, a tasting that took us from east to west with the deep energy of Cullen Kevin John to the tense, acrobatic balance of Tyrrell's Vat 47. Next to Shiraz. But where to start? Barossa Valley? Eden Valley? Hunter Valley? Or Beechworth or Canberra or Sunbury or Yarra or Grampians. Australia does Shiraz well and in many different styles and places. Following that with Cabernets felt like artillery being rolled out as Coonawarra and Margaret River staked their claims for regional dominance. Yarra Valley and Tasmania asked serious questions with flagship offerings that had punters sniffing, sipping, oohing and aahing as they got into deep discussions with one eye on the clock. Being in the fine wine auction business, we know what rarity does for demand. Six years since our last Classification event feels like a very long time. However, LANGTONS Classification is a guide for buyers to secondary market trends for Australian fine wine. The time between drinks allows us to map great changes in Australian fine wine rather than vintage variation. And what a pleasure it was to spend time with the Australian fine wine community, makers and tasters alike. RIEDEL - The Wine Glass Company Vintec The Australian
