For all you fans out there here is a blurb that might get you excited. Please feel free to send it to everyone you know-Lindsay Olson of Paradigm Staffing did (For all your PR and marketing needs… Lindsay rocks!):

Dear Friends,

Daniel and his Argentine fiancée Lourdes recently started an exclusive wine club called Anuva that sources limited production wines from Argentina for its members. They will be doing private wine tastings to launch the club in select US cities on the following dates:

• New York City: October 27-November 9
• Los Angeles: November 9-November 27
• Portland, OR: November 27-January 6, 2009

Tastings will be led by Daniel and will be for groups of 6-10 people, 12 max. Each group tasting costs $175 total (not per person) and includes:

• 6 different wines guaranteed to please. All limited production and exclusive.
• The glassware
• Set-up/clean-up
• The witty banter (he does a very good presentation I would say)

A host would need to invite the people, provide the space, and could contribute optional food items. Daniel will consult for this upon request (without charge of course).Larger groups can be accommodated, but please contact Daniel to discuss the particulars or if you have any questions:

And thank you all for sharing!

Last night, about 14 people attended an Anuva wine tasting and sampled Hom, Anecon, Uruco, Cavagnaro and Don Juan. We are very pleased to say that many of them are now members. It never ceases to amaze me how many people like all of our wines for different reasons:

Full bodied Reserves

Fruit forward Malbecs

Exclusive, hard to find wines

Unique varietals

Velvety wines

Easy to drink wines

These were the top reasons I heard last night. It also never ceases to amaze me how a group of strangers can come together over wine. It can start as the topic of discussion and then become the “title” of a given memory. E.G. “Do you remember when we had that Cavagnaro Malbec Reserve with Al and Nancy from the Bay Area? What a great night that was. The wine was so earthy and full of red fruit and I remember how that started a discussion on whether California wineries will be able to… what a good time that was.”

Last night was very similar. We discussed the terroir of Argentina, the culture, the winemaking culture, business practices and then, a whole slew of things ranging from food pairing to Argentine politics (yikes) to my wedding plans. I appreciate everyone’s company lat night and I hope to have more tastings like this because they are not tastings. They really are events where people come together over wine, and I get to truly enjoy my job.
