We have the wonderful opportunity to meet two special people, Gabriela Ferrara and Martina Minuto, Italian family wine estates in Italy’s far north and in the southwest. Gabriella Ferrara describes herself as a “genuine, authentic, simple woman who puts all passion possible into her job”. She and husband Sergio manage the estate founded by her great grandfather in the hilly region of Campania, inland from Naples. Their ‘Vigna Cicogna’ Greco do Tufo has been proclaimed as one of Italy’s finest white wines by all the critical press. Martin Minuto, one of a few women managing an estate in the Piedmont, is “very focused and driven”. She and cousin Stefano run Cascina Moccagatta, started in 1952 by grandfather Mario. Their Barbarescos ‘Basarin’ and ‘Bric Balin’ reflect dramatically different terroir for Nebbiolo. Come meet these impressive, expressive Italian wine leaders, taste their wines and hear their stories!

Join us for a luxurious Napa Valley experience! We’ll enjoy a strolling tasting and comments from the essential member of Far Niente’s wine family, their Director of Winemaking. Andrew Delos has been with the team for 20 years, overseeing production across Far Niente, Dolce, Nickel & Nickel, En Route, Post & Beam, and Bella Union. Far Niente is an iconic Napa Valley estate, renowned for their very beautiful Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Nickel & Nickel explores ‘the personality of place’ through single vineyard wines. En Route pursues expressions of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Post & Beam wines are designed to be relished upon release. Dolce is ‘liquid gold’, America’s only winery dedicated to one single Sauternes style wine. Andrew Delos comments, “All wine is made in the vineyard. By the time the grape arrives at the front door, as a winemaker, you should have that wine crafted in your head.” Andrew’s favorite pairing? With friends and a beautiful view!
