HOPWINE Virtual Wine Fair – An Extraordinary Wine Tasting Experience for Trade and Journalists

You may be wondering how press and trade are maintaining their wine knowledge when there haven't been any tasting seminars in lately. The first Hopwine Virtual Wine Fair has recently made tasting boxes from European producers available. It was an excellent opportunity and we were pleased to be able to participate.

Here's how it worked. Wineries selected vintages and supplied them in a tasting box. Each sample represented a small pour that was just right for experiencing the wine. Hopwine also provided virtual stands on their web site with great information. Red, white, and rose wines were represented. Here are some of the producers and their wines that we highly recommend from the Hopwine Virtual Wine Fair. Look for them whenever you are adding to your collection or dining out.
