Winemaker Sebastian Zuccardi surrounds himself with very intelligent people, starting with his father Jose, who in 1976, started the Zuccardi winery in Argentina. The vineyards sit at the foot of the Andes in Mendoza where the wines benefit from a cool, dry climate and a wide temperature range. It is here he works with vineyard masters and seasoned growers of the Uco Valley to craft well-balanced wines that maximize the textures of the region. Ancient seabed fossils yield vibrant Chardonnay, and gravelly clays work wonders for the spice and aromatics of Cabernet Franc. This dinner will take us through various sub-regions of Mendoza, the delicious wines, the vision of the family, and the diverse terroirs of Argentina's high mountains. Derek Captain from Winebow Fine Wine+Spirits will facilitate the evening.
