Tasting Room Program - Vancouver International Wine Festival

Transcription

THE 36 TH VANCOUVER INTERNATIONAL WINE FESTIVAL
FEBRUARY 24 - MARCH 2, 2014
1,750+ wines * 177 wineries * 14 countries * 54 events * 8 days * 23,000 attendees
Welcome to the 2014 Vancouver
International Wine Festival, presented by
The Vancouver Sun, Canada’s premier
wine show. This weeklong celebration of
the grape has become an annual highlight
for residents and tourists alike, with a full
slate of wine tastings and parties,
lunches, brunches and dinners, seminars,
and a three-day conference for trade
professionals. Whether you are a wine
expert or novice, you are guaranteed to
find something to please your palate or
your pocketbook.
The heart of VanWineFest, however, is
the International Festival Tastings, where
all 177 wineries gather together in one
room to showcase their wines. What sets
this festival apart from other wine events
is the number of top winery personalities from around the world who travel
to Vancouver to participate in the week’s 54 events. You can identify these
visiting vine stars (owners, winemakers, senior executives) in the Acura
Tasting Room or at special events by the royal blue lanyard holding their
nametag. Also look for their names in the Tasting Notes section of this
program. Don’t hesitate to ask them anything you want to know about their
wines. The Wine World is Here to share their knowledge and the fruits of
their labours with you.
This program has been designed to help you make the most of your tasting
experience. To assist in putting your tasting plan together, browse the wine
indices of our Theme Country, France, and global focus, Bubbly, read up on
the wineries in the Tasting Notes, and then go to the Tasting Room Map on
page 29 to determine your route around the room. Trade professionals take
note: there is also an index of wines being poured exclusively at the
afternoon Trade Tastings, an additional 167 wines to make your tasting
opportunities even richer.
The Acura Tasting Room is organized alphabetically within each country of
origin, from Argentina to the United States, with a special international
section for Sake. The highlight of the room is sure to be the France Bon
Appetit Theme Country section, where you will find all 52 of France’s
participating wineries organized by region, as well as special Tasting
Stations showcasing wines from Alsace, Rhône and the LanguedocRoussillon. To assist you in finding more information about a specific
winery, look under the country listings on pages 17-22 and find the page
number for the corresponding Tasting Notes. At the back of the book, you’ll
find an informative guide to France’s wine regions and terroir.
All the wines being poured in the room are available for purchase or
special order in the on-site BC Liquor Store – but please note, a ticket to the
corresponding tasting session is required for entry. You can also order case
lots of select wines right at the winery table, which will be delivered to your
closest BC Liquor Store within two weeks of the close of Festival week.
Just look for the specially marked tasting room wines identified with the
Shop the World neck tag.

On behalf of the Vancouver International Wine Festival’s Board of Directors, I am pleased to
welcome you to the 36th edition of the festival. This year, we are featuring France Bon Appétit as our
theme, with a global focus on Bubbly – a pairing made for elegance, sophistication and celebration. A great many individuals and organizations contribute to the continued success of the Wine Festival
and our charitable beneficiary, Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival, through this annual
fundraising event. The Board of Directors would like to thank the participating wineries, their principals and agents; the
participating country consulates; our sponsors and partner restaurants, hotels and venues; our dedicated staff and
hundreds of volunteers; our key stakeholders in the community, including the BCLDB and IVSA; and you, members of the
public and trade, who make the Vancouver International Wine Festival the best wine and food festival in North America.

MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
by roche bobois
I’m pleased to welcome you to #VIWF, an annual weeklong cultural celebration of wine and food. For
this 36th edition, we are showcasing 177 wineries from 14 countries, including 52 wineries from our
theme country, France.
The Acura Tasting Room is the perfect opportunity to taste the world through wine. One of the best
ways to tackle the room is to go to one winery from each of the nine French wine regions and each
of the 13 other countries. Once you have a sense of the room and what you like, you can go back to try more wines from
that region or country. Don’t just head to the busiest tables. All the wineries at VanWineFest are pouring fascinating
wines, and you’ll have more time to talk with the winery representatives at the table, all of whom are winemakers, owners
or senior executives, with unique insights into their product and the stories behind them. You can even get a bottle signed
by them at the onsite BC Liquor Stores Festival Wine Shop, then leave it at the convenient bottle check, while you go back
into the room to sample more wines. You can also take advantage of the Shop the World program, which allows you to
order a case of select wines directly at the winery table.
Enjoy an engaging and safe festival. We look forward to welcoming you back next year and many more years to come.
Santé!
Harry Hertscheg
Executive Director
THANK YOU FROM BARD ON THE BEACH SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL
We’d like to celebrate and thank the winemakers here at home and from around the world who bring
us their bounty to sip and savour at this wonderful event – the Vancouver International Wine
Festival. We also deeply appreciate the funds raised by the Festival; they will help us maintain the
highest standards of artistic quality in the performances we present on our Vanier Park stages, and
strengthen our educational programs.
So let’s taste the wines today! And join me in a toast: “To the wineries and all our partners who contribute so mightily to
this great event!”

This year the spotlight shines on France as
the Theme Country, with 52 wineries from
nine distinct wine regions participating. It is
no coincidence that the world has adopted
the French word terroir to describe the
combination of natural forces that gives a
vineyard and a wine its uniqueness. Indeed,
the world of wine owes much to French
terroir. French grapes, techniques and style
have profoundly influenced winegrowing
around the world, with New World
winemakers seeking to emulate French
archetypes. Yet New World ideas have also
influenced France, creating a new wave of
fruitier, fun-to-drink wines, especially from
the South. Meanwhile, traditions live on,
and wines from Bordeaux, Bourgogne,
Champagne, Alsace, the Loire, and the
Rhône continue to provide benchmarks for
winemakers everywhere.

ARGENTINA
AUSTRALIA
Located in the Southern Cone of the
American Continent, with a population of 41
million and a territory that is four times
larger than France, Argentina is one of the
world’s greatest ecological reserves. The
vast winemaking region is a strip of land
located in the west of the country, at the
foot of the Andes range, where the
cultivated area covers more than 225,846
hectares. The altitude, the wide range of
temperatures, the local know-how, the new
technologies and a deeply-rooted popular
wine culture lend Argentine wines unique
identity and quality.
Australia has become a recognized leader
in the wine world by deftly combining
tradition with new ideas and technical
innovation in order to produce a diversity of
wine styles. While large brands continue to
grab attention for their consistent quality
and remarkable value, there is an
increasing focus on the distinct regional
excellence of Australian wines. More and
more consumers are coming to realise that
Oz’s premium wines offer outstanding
character and sense of place as well as
value.

It’s easy to find wine regions that are bigger,
older, or more famous. However, it is not
easy to find a region that is newer, more
diverse or more exciting. The variety of
soils, slope of the vineyard, weather and
proximity to water (be it lakes, rivers or
ocean) contributes to the unique variety of
BC wines. Spectacular summers followed
by warm autumn days and brisk nights allow
grapes to ripen slowly, developing balanced
fruit with complex, exceptional flavours.

CHILE
Chile has long been the home of consistent
quality and solid value. Wine lovers already
know that Chile offers some of the world’s
most reliably excellent Cabernet Sauvignon,
unique and superb Carmenere, while also
producing outstanding examples of
exceptional Syrah and Pinot Noir. Cooler
coastal areas are being developed to
produce clean, fresh whites of matching
quality to the already renowned reds. Chile
continues to produce wines of great purity,
complexity and balance.

International Wine Festival 2014 19
GERMANY
ITALY
Situated at the northernmost edge of the
wine world, Germany is unique. In the cool
weather of northern Europe, the production
of fine wine requires not only quality vines
and technical skill, but also imagination and
a dedication to excellence. The resulting
wines maintain a cult following among wine
lovers, especially at VanWineFest. Riesling
is the noble variety of Germany, producing
some of the finest white wines in the world.
Italy is a giant on the international wine
stage. It is the largest producer and
exporter in the world and has more types of
vines planted than any other country,
encompassing nearly every colour, flavour
and style imaginable. In recent years, Italian
producers have moved rapidly to the
forefront of world oenology, improving
techniques to create wines of undeniable
class in every region. Though Italy is most
noted for its noble reds, like Chianti, Barolo
and Brunello, it is also a major producer of
white wines, ranging in style from light and
fruity to oak-aged versions of impressive
substance and depth.

ISRAEL
The biblical land of milk and honey lays
claim to being the cradle of the world’s wine
industry. Israel leapt to international
prominence when new, cooler vineyards
were planted in the disputed territory of the
Golan Heights in the early 1980s and the
Upper Galilee in the 1990s. Part technology
and high altitude, the Golan Heights led the
country to a new dawn of quality wine,
winning a host of awards at the IWSC in
London and Vinexpo in Bordeaux.

JAPAN
Grapes have been grown in Japan since the
8th century. Climatic conditions do not
favour winemaking (typhoons tend to make
things a bit awkward), although there is a
small wine industry. Sake, which is brewed
from rice and is therefore technically beer,
has its own rich tradition. The oldest sake
brewery in Japan was established in the
12th century. Premium sake is as complex in
every way as fine wine, with differences
between sakes as significant as the
differences between Corton Charlemagne
and Puligny-Montrachet or Pauillac and
Pomerol. High-quality sake is always
consumed cool.
Yoshi No Gawa Saké Co.
p. 82
NEW ZEALAND
An isolated South Pacific island nation with
a temperate climate, New Zealand enjoys
undeniable advantages when it comes to
producing distinctive, ultra-premium wines.
No place is more than 130 km inland and the
proximity of New Zealand’s vineyards to the
ocean have a pronounced effect on the
character of its wines. Mild, sunny summers
and marked differences between day and
night-time temperatures in many regions
slow the ripening of the grapes and allow
them to develop pure, intense varietal
flavours. This is the foundation of New
Zealand wines’ elegance and power, and
helps explain their famed balance, structure
and food friendliness. Regional diversity is
dramatic, enabling a striking array of wine
varieties and styles to flourish.

It’s hard to separate New Zealand and Sauvignon Blanc these
days, but we were the first to put them together, over 40
years ago. You could say we’ve changed the way
the world drinks wine.
Has it gone to our heads?
Hardly. But it has fired us up to do more.

and Madeira are great wines, part of a
centuries-old tradition. In wine, tradition is
good. What makes Portugal exciting today
is that the country is full of dynamic young
winemakers who are using new technology
to enhance and amplify tradition. The

SOUTH AFRICA
The vineyards of the Western Cape are
situated at the southernmost tip of Africa,
enjoying a Mediterranean climate with cool,
wet winters and warm, dry summers. The
Indian and Atlantic oceans help to create a
variety of microclimates extending from the
cool coastal areas to warmer spots inland.
As South African winemakers embrace the
diversity of soils and climate, the result is
reflected in distinctive, elegant and
complex wines. Syrah has quickly
blossomed as the top red varietal, and
Cabernet Sauvignon continues to produce
top wines. For whites, Chardonnay and
Sauvignon Blanc are plentiful, but the
under-rated Chenin Blanc is helping to give
South Africa a unique varietal expression.

SPAIN
Spain cultivates more acres of vineyards
than any other country in Europe, and its
wine regions encompass a wide range of
climates and soil types. Its bodegas make
bold, cellar-worthy reds, fresh and fruity
whites, distinct sparkling wines and, of
course, a wide range of styles and flavours
of Sherry. It is further testament to Spain’s
diversity and vinous riches that while it
produces some of the most sought-after
cult wines on the planet, it also continues to
offer some of the world’s best wine values.

CALIFORNIA
California is established as one of the great
wine regions of the world, due in part to
vintners full of energy, passion and vision.
Their profound dedication to crafting the
best possible wines has allowed California to
remain a top competitor in the New World
wine category. In an increasingly
competitive global marketplace, with
growing
consumer
environmental
awareness, California vintners are
committed to farming responsibly and
utilizing the best science available. This
commitment to sustainable agriculture
demonstrates that steps are being taken to
ensure that Golden State winegrowers will
have viable and outstanding land for growing
wine grapes and producing world-class
wines long into the future.

OREGON
Oregon may have the most challenging
ripening conditions in all of the United States.
Far from being a disadvantage, Oregon has
benefited from its geography and climate by
emphasizing quality over quantity and
focusing on wines of great complexity.
Oregon Pinot Noir has found considerable
success around the world while winemakers
are also getting great results with Pinot Gris,
Chardonnay and Gamay Noir.

Washington State has a recognized

are often spectacular, while Syrah can be

Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling,

Every sip is a celebration! One of the great misconceptions about sparkling wine is that it is only appropriate as an aperitif or to
mark a special occasion. But the versatility of this refreshing wine means that you can find fizz to suit any situation. Adding
bubbly makes even the simplest event extraordinary.
While Champagne might be the most famous sparkling wine, it in fact accounts for only eight percent of the world’s production.
Only wine produced exclusively in the Champagne region of France by the méthode champenoise can claim the name, but there
are spectacular sparkling wines found throughout the world under other regional handles – Cava in Spain, Sekt in Germany,
Prosecco in Italy – and many different styles, from bone-dry bruts to sweet secs. Bubbles come in white, pink and red as well,
with popular Rosé fizz and Aussie sparkling Shiraz.
Sparkling wine is defined by the
measurement of pressure inside a
stoppered bottle. True sparkling wine
must contain more than three
atmospheres of carbon dioxide, which
when released provide the trademark
bubbles. There are three main processes
of putting the bubbles in bubbly:
traditional, transfer, and charmat, all of
which involve initiating a second
fermentation – either in the bottle or in a
tank – in order to produce carbon
dioxide.

Import Vintners & Spirits Association of BC:
The Import Vintners & Spirits Association of
British Columbia is a non-profit association
formed in 1975 by a small group of liquor agents

communicating with the B.C. Liquor Distribution
Branch. The agent members account for
approximately 85% of all imported beverage
alcohol in British Columbia.
BC Hospitality Foundation:
The BC Hospitality Foundation provides support
for individuals within the hospitality community,
beyond traditional medical benefits and
insurances, who are coping with a financial
crisis arising from a health or medical condition.
As well, it is committed to supporting the
industry’s next generation by providing
scholarships to selected students enrolled in
hospitality, culinary and wine programmes in BC.

BARD ON THE BEACH
Mission:
To perform, explore and celebrate the genius of
William Shakespeare.
ABOUT
VA N W I N E F E S T
25th Anniversary Season
JUNE 11 - SEPT 20, 2014
Celebrating its 25th Season in 2014, Bard on the
Beach Shakespeare Festival is one of Canada’s
largest not-for-profit, professional Shakespeare
festivals. Presented in a magnificent setting on the
waterfront in Vancouver’s Vanier Park, the Festival
offers Shakespeare plays, related dramas, and
several special events in two performance tents.
Bard on the Beach’s 2014 season will run June 11September 20. This year sees the return of two
audience favourites: A Midsummer Night’s Dream,
directed by Dean Paul Gibson and The Tempest,
staged by Meg Roe. Presented on the BMO
Mainstage, they will be re-imaginings of Gibson and
Roe’s hugely successful 2006 and 2008 productions.
On the Douglas Campbell Studio Stage, Bard
presents a bold adaptation of Shakespeare’s
Cymbeline, directed by Anita Rochon and
Equivocation, a story set in Shakespeare’s era,
written by contemporary playwright Bill Cain and
directed by Michael Shamata.
Tickets on sale in April • All seats reserved
Bard on the Beach was established in 1990 with a
mandate to provide both Vancouver residents and
tourists with affordable, accessible Shakespearean
productions of the finest quality. The Festival began
as an Equity Co-op, funded primarily by a Canada
Council Explorations grant awarded to Artistic
Director and Founder Christopher Gaze. A fully
professional, not-for-profit theatre company, Bard on
the Beach now engages thirty actors in two
companies to perform four plays each season, as
well as a team of exceptional directors, designers,
and technicians; it is also supported by more than 200
volunteers. The productions consistently receive
both critical and audience acclaim and play to sold
out houses. Over 1.2 million patrons have enjoyed
Bard performances over its 24-year history.
The Vancouver International Wine Festival, Canada’s
premier food & wine event, has three mandates: to
provide an informative, educational and entertaining
wine experience for public and trade; to be a premier
marketing opportunity for the wine industry and festival
partners; and to raise funds for the Bard on the Beach
Theatre Society.
VanWineFest grew from humble roots as a fundraising
initiative for the former Vancouver Playhouse Theatre
Company, dreamed up by the late John E. Levine. The
inaugural festival in 1979 featured one vintner – Robert
Mondavi – and saw approximately 1,000 people attend
the two-day event at Hycroft, the Shaughnessy mansion
owned by Vancouver’s University Women’s Club.
By its fourth year, the festival had grown to attract 45
California wineries, becoming known as the California
Wine Festival. The ninth festival in 1987 was the first
multi-national event, with wineries from seven countries
showcasing their wines. In 1988, VanWineFest moved to
the Vancouver Convention Centre, where the main
International Festival Tastings have been held ever
since. The festival is now annually scheduled for the last
week of February.

In 1996, VanWineFest began shining the spotlight on
specific wine regions or countries by featuring a new
area each year, with the French wine region Bordeaux
as the inaugural theme. This year, the theme country is
France, with nine different French wine regions featured
(including Bordeaux). Since 2004, VanWineFest has
highlighted an annual global focus, with Bubbly! under
the spotlight this year.
Today VanWineFest attracts some of the biggest industry
names from around the world and is firmly established
as the continent’s premier wine event and among the
biggest, best and oldest wine events in the world. It
features wine tastings and pairings, gourmet dinners and
luncheons, educational seminars and culinary
competitions.
This is a rare opportunity to meet owners, winemakers
and senior representatives from wineries around the
globe. For either the experienced wine lover or the
novice, the festival has something to please every palate
and pocketbook.

Vision:
To create an enduring contribution to the cultural
fabric of the community as an inspiring centre of
Shakespeare performance, education and
understanding.
Bard on the Beach is the proud beneficiary of the
In addition to its Shakespeare productions, Bard
offers many ancillary activities including opera
concerts, specialty workshops, lectures and forums.
The tented Bard Village provides patrons with a
range of activities and services including informal In
A Nutshell talks to provide insight into the plays, concessions and bar services and a boutique.
Through its constantly expanding community outreach, Bard hosts the immensely popular Young Shakespeareans Workshops for youth and teens at the site
during the summer and Bard in the Classroom workshops for students and teachers during the school term.
Bard on the Beach is extremely proud to have been chosen by the Vancouver International Wine Festival as its charitable recipient. This partnership will be
invaluable to the Festival, helping it to maintain its high level of artistic standards while keeping it an affordable entertainment option for theatre-goers locally,
across the country and around the world.

We are pleased to be working with some of Canada’s most dynamic speakers on the various French
seminars and collaborating with incredible chefs, sommeliers and entertainment locally, as we work to
bring to Vancouver a little taste of the ‘Joie de Vivre’ that is French wine.
An action-packed itinerary of French wine has been put together for your enjoyment this week, featuring winery dinners at
some of the city’s top restaurants, delectable grazing lunches and tutored tastings of some of France’s most treasured wines.
The International Festival Tasting sessions are always highlights of the vinicultural experience, for both trade and the general
public alike, where this year we are proud to present more than 60 wineries from all over the country. France has spent
thousands of years building its reputation as a quality wine producing country. It offers so many distinct regions and diverse
varieties that it can be hard to narrow your favourites down to just one style, so we have devised a system that should help:
1 Visit our French wine ambassadors in the France section of the tasting room to find your style.
2 Look around the tasting room at the French winery signs for quick access to your favourite wines!
3 Embark on a guided tasting experience à-la-Française...
‘Bubbles’ are the global focus of this year’s festival, and sparkling wine is synonymous with celebrations, so what better
place to look than the various regions of France to discover Crémants and Champagne to sparkle in your glass?
A votre santé!

NOTES
by
With their convivial appeal, the extensive array of styles and flavours found in French wines and spirits is impossible to resist.
France leads the world in the premium alcoholic drinks market, focusing strongly on “terroir” as a driving force. A rich palate
of grape varieties, soils and weather conditions, combined with skillful growers, distillers and brewers, lends France’s drinks
portfolio its legendary variety.
We are delighted that France is the featured country at the Vancouver International Wine Festival for 2014. This specific
highlight on France and French wines in British Columbia represents a special opportunity to strengthen relationships
between France and British Columbia, and brings the entire French wine-producing industry to wine lovers.
We hope that the festival will provide you with unique and delightful taste experiences, and the opportunity to meet winery
representatives who are proud to travel to Vancouver and to show you their wines from France.
We wish to thank the Vancouver International Wine Festival, the BCLDB, private retailers, restaurants, all participating
wineries, their visiting principals, and each of you, for your enthusiastic support of the wines from France.
