When you attend the Vancouver International Wine Festival 2023 this month, the International Festival Tasting Room will have winery principals attending. You have a chance to talk to them about their winery and their wines. This is an opportunity you should not pass up. Why did a winery make a sparkling wine or used whole-cluster fermentation for a wine, etc? I enjoy chatting with winery principals. This year’s theme region is South America, so there are many winery principals from Argentina, Chile, Brasil, and Uruguay for you to chat with. Below is a list of the wineries and the winery principals attending from Argentina. Note that due to schedules, some winery principals listed below may be changed with another winery principal. Check out these Argentinean wineries and their wines and put together your questions for the winery principals. Cheers!
