The 10th Edition of wine2wine Business Forum breaks out the glasses for 5 illuminating wine tasting sessions. Elite tasters and critics from top wine institutions and publications will present five different sessions to rip away the curtain shrouding the process of evaluating and scoring wines. wine2wine Business Forum will be held 13-14 November, celebrating its 10th anniversary.
VERONA, Italy, Sept. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- This year the wine industry Forum extends beyond its bountiful program of sessions, adding a unique track of Tasting Sessions, specifically designed to put wine evaluating and scoring under the microscope. Elite tasters from among the wine sector's most prestigious and respected publications, as well as Masters of Wines and top critics will share their wine tasting processes with Forum participants, allowing the audience to taste along with the presenters.
The new Tasting Sessions, held in the Well Com Tasting Room, kick off on Monday morning with Stephanie Johnson DipWSET, Italian Wine Editor from Wine & Spirits Magazine, together with sommeliers Katharine Hooper and Celia Erickson, will reveal the scoring process they use, which has been followed by a rapt readership across the USA since 1982. The audience will taste along with Johnson and her unique team of "round table" style tasters, to gain insight into Wine & Spirits' requirements and considerations for wines that receive their top scores.
The second Tasting Session takes place Monday afternoon, taking a look at the role tasting plays in the journey to becoming a Master of Wine. Italy's two Masters of Wine, Gabriele Gorelli MW and Andrea Lonardi MW, share the story of their infamous partnership. Participants will discover the alchemy of their friendship, the strength of their study system and see them live and in person, tasting and evaluating wines to MW standard as participants taste along with them.
Tuesday morning sees Tasting Session 3 led by Jeff Porter IWA and Danielle Callegari, with a focus on the Wine Enthusiast philosophy of evaluating wines from many unusual angles. Their combined knowledge of Italian wines, how to score them and how to communicate them in ways that are meaningful to professionals and consumers alike will light the way for this informative look at wine tasting.
Tasting Session 4 takes the audience to the heart of Bordeaux, with Decanter Magazine's Premium Editor and Bordeaux Correspondent, Georgie Hindle DipWSET leading a tasting of three wines that give an overview of Bordeaux's Right Bank for those who want to know more about this famous region but don't know where to start.
The final Tasting Session will be held Tuesday afternoon, with America's VinePair smashing old school barriers to understanding wine scores. Co-Founder Josh Malin and Tasting Director Keith Beavers, along with Managing Editor Tim McKirdy and Assistant Editor Hannah Staab, explain how they approach tastings and reviews from a new perspective. VinePair has become an advocate for of-the-moment young producers and emerging regions. The audience shares a live tasting demonstration of their fresh, new school take on the tasting and scoring process.
