The winemaker’s dinner comes on the heels of a number of exciting placements of Le Vieux Pin wines in several Michelin Starred Restaurants in Europe including:
* Sven Oetzel, Chef Sommelier, La Vie, Osnabruck, 3 michelin star: “Le Vieux Pin’s wines deliver the charming fruit drinkers love from new-world yet unlike many wines from the new-world they retain a freshness and elegance that is often lacking”
* Marcel Runge, Head Sommelier, Aqua at Ritz Carlton, Wolfsburg, 3 michelin star: “I love the purity of character in Le Vieux Pin’s Syrah. The fruit is presented in a clean and transparent way, not hidden behind oak or excessive winemaking. There is a litheness to the wines that makes them very charming and a joy to pair with our food.”
About Le Vieux Pin: Named for the solitary majestic old growth pine of their Oliver estate, Le Vieux Pin sits perched amidst the famed vineyards of the Black Sage Bench: Canada’s sole pocket desert, located in the South of British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley. Since releasing their first vintage in 2005, Le Vieux Pin has captured the essence of traditional French winemaking, along with the bold New World character distinct to the region. Considered by the national wine industry to be a leading Syrah producer, the winery uses low input viticulture and non-interventionist winemaking to make exclusive vintages that carry with them a sense of time and place. These fine wines can be savoured nationwide and internationally, at select culinary hot spots, gastronomical institutions and fine wine merchants. The pine tree stands alone.
