Mention from Export Seminar

I wanted to mention that in addition to those already listed, other wineries speaking at the seminar with me on July 10 were:

Celler de Capçanes: the cooperative that helped make D.O. Montsant what it is and broke the stereotype that cooperative equals inferior quality. Producer of a unique kosher wine: Flor de Primavera.

Celler Sort del Castell: The house behind local institution Vermouth Yzaguirre. Discovering their Reserva Especial served with an art deco seltzer dispenser at a neighborhood restaurant ten years ago was a before-and-after moment for me.

Jané Ventura: Winery since 1914, producing in D.O. Penedes and D.O. Cava. Their "Mas Vilella" Cabernet consistently receives critical marks (92 pts. in Peñín 2007 for the 2002). Working with regional variety Sumoll.
