The Montreal event was quite impressive. It was held in Old Montreal, at the historic Marché Bonsecours. 58 California wine producers participated, each presenting a number of different types of winesand vintages, a truly impressive selection of wines to taste and to discover by the Quebec wine professionals.
As last year, it was great to taste such excellent wines, and often quite difficult to choose which were the best ones. Additionally, it was also great to see original and artistic wine bottle labels' designs. Many had vivid colours, geometrically pleasing designs, or unusual bold writing to attract attention to their bottles. Though a welcomed tendency, nevertheless, at the end, what really counts is the quality and the excellence of wine inside the bottles.
Many deals were made as the Montreal and Quebec wine distributors and other professionals tasted various wines, took pictures of the bottles' etiquette of those they liked, and graded them in their notebooks according to their private taste, specifying individual wine characteristics, and discussing them with the California Wine representatives.
Cheese and cold cuts were also generously provided at the event.
I talked to several Canadian professionals who attended the event. They were all very pleased with their experience and the new knowledge they acquired about California wine producers and their vineyards, as well as the wines and vintages that were new to them.
