A fruitful seminar and a wild party after that for the Wine Education Week, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust) at Caplan Wine Academy (Tokyo). For the occasion I held a short 1 hour seminar about the wines of Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore, whose appellation is exactly 50 years old as well. Thanks to all who came and I hope you enjoyed the evening! #prosecco #wset #wine #wineeducationweek #coneglianovaldobbiadene

Friuli Venezia Giulia: what a complex wine region for such a (relatively) small number of appellations. Friuli Colli Orientali DOC in particular includes four sub-zones and encompasses three separate DOCGs, all with different requirements. This wine here is a Schioppettino made in the Prepotto subzone, with lots of black fruit character and aromas coming from the ageing (2013 vintage). Yesterday we had the last lesson for the Italian Wine Scholar. Good luck to all my students for the exam on the 24th and see you again in October for our Tuscany part 1 lesson! #italianwinescholar @winescholarguild #italy #wine

Three different expressions of the Valpolicella region that we tasted yesterday at the Veneto session of the Italian Wine Scholar: Ripasso, Amarone and Recioto. Pretty obvious difference and wines of very good quality (thumbs up especially for the Ripasso excellent value for money). Next lesson will be about Friuli and from October we are beginning the new semester with the wines of Central and South Italy. #italianwinescholar #caplanwineacademy #wine #italy #veneto

Ohlala! A California sparkler reciting "methode champenoise" on the label! I guess someone in Reims is not happy. 😁 Anyway pretty nice wine. #champagne #gloriaferrer #freixenet

Monday morning, back to work 😃 #mondaymorning

Sunday afternoon aperitivo: 12 years old Sherry Amontillado and Italian caciotta. A very good pairing, harmonized savoriness and nutty aftertaste. #amontillado #sherry #donzoilo #caciotta #cheese #wine
