Trapiche Terroir Series Finca El Tomillo 2020 π¦π·
Located at 1,350 masl, Gualtallary is one of the most exceptional terroirs in Uco Valley, Mendoza, where wines of the finest quality are produced. π·
The high altitude, the sandy soil and elevated content of calcium carbonate and pebbles, limit the development of the vine deriving in extreme quality fruit.
This Chardonnay produced with a very delicate process, scars intervention and maximum attention to detail, proudly expresses its place of birth offering a delicate combination of yellow fruit and citrus notes added to a slight toastiness and mineral character. Its crips acidity and velvety texture, develops into a long and elegant finish. Ideal to pair with white fish, subtly flavored poultry and pork dishes, pasta with creamy sauce and mild cheeses. π

Oak ? Stainless steel ? Concrete ?
Different vessels can greatly impact the style of a wine. Three great sommeliers will present and defend their vessel of choice at Wine Paris & Vinexpo Paris 2023, explain their effects on flavour, and let the audience decide which one is the most convincing.
If you are visiting Wine Paris this year, that's a masterclass not to be missed!

With France hosting the Best Sommelier of the World this year (and first time in more than 30 years, imagine!), we decided to pay tribute to the French cuisine.
There are, of course, many many French dishes, that pop up in your mind when you think about the French gastronomy... But certainly, the tartare will be in everyone's top 5 π
There are at least a dozen of recipes, all claiming to be as original as possible - we are sure you came by a list of the best tartares in France once in your life at least! And many Parisian bistrots are claiming to serve the one and only... Maybe the guests of the contest will do their own search for the best and only during the week of the Best Sommelier of the World in Paris, who knows! π
We will not be challenging the recipe and its authenticity today, as in fact it is a simple dish with simple ingredients (see the image) that create a beautiful symphony all coming together. π
What we want to challenge you on is to create a pairing that will blow us (and our followers) away - what is your go-to wine with tartare, or do you pair it with stout, maybe a cocktail? And don't forget the alcohol-free options! Let the challenge begin! We will feature the most interesting pairings next week and tag the winners of our little challenge on our a#asisomms
