Flying In From Afar

Special guest flying in from afar to share their particular wine knowledge & expertise always makes for a fun and exciting event. I am really excited about our upcoming Bouchaine Vineyards tasting on March 2nd. Greg Gauthier of Bouchaine will be at Vine & Table gourmet market from 5-7 pm, pouring their fantastic Chardonnays & Pinot Noirs. About 3 weeks ago, I was able to taste through the wines and was very fortunate to have Greg agree to return to Carmel and personally share these wines with our friends and neighbors here in Carmel.  I think you’ll love these wines as well. This is a free tasting and I recommend you stop on by.

The best part of this event will be talking to Greg. The title of VP of Wine Production & Sales at Bouchaine only tells you where he is today, not where he has been. For instance, with stints with Sebastiani, Sutter Home, Klein Family Vineyards, Chalone, and Rodney Strong Wines, Greg has plenty of stories about each of those wineries. In fact, Greg has frequently managed to be in the right spot at exactly the right time. He had a key role in successfully launching Sebastiani Vineyard's Country Varietals. He helped establish Sutter Home as a national brand. He redesigned the package for Sutter Home's innovative single-serving concept; miniature wine bottles sold in a 4-pack are now ubiquitous. Greg ultimately became Director of Sales and Marketing for Sutter Home's first foray into fine wine with their Monteviña Winery in Amador County.

Stop by, meet Greg, discuss the Bouchaine wines, along with Greg’s history in the wine industry, taste some wonderful wines and we might even have a treat in store for you as well… perhaps a G. Gauthier Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir to taste.
