I’m so excited to be attending a wine tasting and seminar today! If you love wine and want to know more about Burgundy Wines make sure you follow my twitter stream. I’ll be posting throughout the day as I sip.
About the event:
Calgary, Alberta: February 8, 2010—Over the last ten years, exports of Burgundy wines to Canada have experienced a period of continual growth. In 2007, Canada became the fifth biggest importer of Burgundy wines according to value, and the seventh according to volume. For the Calgary market, which shows great potential, the Burgundy Wine Board (BIVB) is organizing a professional event “Terroirs & Signatures de Bourgogne” in Calgary on February 8, 2010.
A rich program for its participants
The event features a large wine tasting exhibition for both key influencers and journalists to meet Burgundy wine growers as well as discover and rediscover the richness and diversity of Burgundy wines.
“Thanks to the diversity and the richness of its appellations, Burgundy offers a range of wines that suit all segments of the market and meet the needs of all Canadian consumers,” comments François Labet, spokesperson for the Burgundy Wine Board. “Even if nearly all the AOCs (Appellations d’Origine Contrôlée) are commercialized in Canada, only a few wines assure the large volumes sold, which means that there is great potential for this wine-making region.”
