Wine Conferences East of the Rockies Go Virtual in 2021
With the Covid-19 crisis still limiting or preventing in-person gatherings, many wine conferences and educational programs have changed to virtual schedules for enology, viticultural, and wine marketing/business meetings. While online sessions are obviously not the same as seeing and talking with speakers and other attendees in person, there are some advantages to “attending” virtual programs. Conference organizers have the option to include presenters based on their knowledge on topic under discussion, not how much it would cost to bring them to a specific location. And there certainly are a wide variety of virtual programs that anyone in the wine industry can attend, often at no cost.
The Williamsburg Winery has not one, but two wines to ring in the new year.
Sparkling wine, that is.
“Every day is a good day for a bubbly!” Patrick Duffeler, founder of The Williamsburg Winery, said in a prepared statement. “We just launched our sparkling wine program, and it already has an interest and a following.”
The two new, sparkling wines are the 2017 Brut Rosé and the 2017 Blanc de Blanc, courtesy of the winery’s partnership with the Virginia Sparkling Company of Veritas Vineyard & Winery.
The Brut rose is described as “crisp” with strawberry, cherry and vanilla flavors while the Blanc de Blanc has a “creaminess to the finish” with notes of lemon, green apple and pear, according to the winery’s announcement.
