Trophies and Great Value results announced
Posted by Ray O'Connor | Filed under Consumer tastings, IWC, Trade Tasting
At today’s Taste of Gold Event at Lord’s Cricket Ground in London we had the great pleasure of announcing this year’s trophy winners. No less than 111 trophies were announced with some producers picking up more than one trophy per wine. IWC Co-Chairman Charles Metcalfe told me “The competition at this final Trophy stage recognises true excellence and helps consumers identify at a glance some of the world’s best wines.”
With a 15% increase on entries this year the competition for each wine was even tougher, with any trophy winners exhibiting true expression of region and style.
Here is the list of winners announced today:

A Chile Christmas
Posted by Ray O'Connor | Filed under Consumer tastings
The team at Wines of Chile are inviting the public to attend a line up of over 150 Chilean wines that should ensure a merry and jolly Christmas.They’re taking over the Banqueting Hall at Glaziers Hall this Friday from 6pm-9pm. I love the feeling of drinking wine along the Thames on a Friday evening, indoors obviously rather than from a brown bag on a bench. 
There’ll be a great line up of all the well known merchants, as well as the not so common. It’ll set you back 15 quid but for the quality and variety on offer in Chile at the moment that has to beat any noisy, stuffy bar (or bench!). Send the team an email at info@winesofchile.org.uk to sign up.
I had a word with Señor Michael Cox at the Wine Future conference about which emerging regions consumers should be watching out for in Chile. Check it out on our player to the right.
