B-1: Room: Grand Ballroom A & B – Class Maximum 120
Title: Kékfrankos - Blaufränkisch - Lemberger: A Grape’s Immigration Story From Central Europe To The US West Coast
Presenter: Annette Schiller, Owner of ombiasy PR & Wine Tours
Abstract: Looking for a grape that produces a bold, red wine with delicious wild berries or cherry flavors? One with powerful acidity, with prominent tannins, with good ageing potential that is absolutely delicious and versatile, and that grows easily in colder climates?
This is an old autochthonous variety dating back to the 18th century in what was then the Habsburg Empire in central Europe.
This grape is called different names depending on where it settled and grows. We will explore Kékfrankos from Hungary, Blaufränkisch from Austria, Lemberger from Germany and the Finger Lakes, and Blaufränkisch from Walla Walla…Yes, from Walla Walla.
D-5: Room: Parkview - Class Maximum 120
Title: Dive Deep Into Burgundy With Louis Jadot
Presenters: Thibaut Marquis, North America Export Manager, Louis Jadot and Annette Schiller, Owner, ombiasy PR&WineTours
Abstract: From the tip of Chablis to the toe of Beaujolais, from regional, villages, 1er Cru and Grand Cru appellations, Louis Jadot produces wines that celebrate Burgundy’s diversity, reflecting the natural
differences of soil, aspect and climate. The familiar Bacchus-head label has become the reliable stamp of quality and consistency from what can often be a confusing region. We will take you on a journey that defines Louis Jadot’s 165 years of know-how and expertise in the Burgundy region.
E-4: Room: Grand Ballroom G & H - Class Maximum 120
Title: A Journey Through The Loire Valley
Presenter: Annette Schiller, Owner, ombiasy PR & Wine Tours
Abstract: The Loire Valley is the heart of France and its fourth largest wine region. Starting at the Atlantic Ocean, the Loire Valley wine region straddles the Loire River from west to east for 174 miles. With such an expansive area, geography, soil, and climate differ greatly from one place to the other.
The Loire Valley contains several distinct wine regions, each with its own characteristic grapes, appellations and wine styles. Most of the wines are produced with a single grape variety.
Follow us when we take you on an exciting journey through the different appellations.
The American Wine Society
The American Wine Society was founded in 1967 as a non-profit,
educational, consumer-oriented organization for those interested in
learning more about all aspects of wine. On October 7, 1967, around 200
grape growers, home winemakers, and wine lovers gathered at Dr.
Konstantin Frank’s vineyard on Keuka Lake near Hammondsport, NY for the
AWS’ initial meeting.
In December of the same year, the thirteen charter members, led by
Founder Dr. Konstantin Frank, met to determine the organization
structure of AWS and elect officers. Now in its 49th year, the American
Wine Society is the largest consumer based wine education
organization in North America. Membership is open to anyone
interested in wine and over 21 years of age.
In the early days, AWS members were located primarily in the eastern
part of the country. As the society grew , we established chapters
throughout the eastern U.S., then into the south and Midwest, and
finally into western states. Today, the American Wine Society has over
5,000 members in 45 states and 120 chapters across the U.S.
Each November the Society hosts a three-day national conference with
two full days of nearly 50 educational seminars to choose from.
Winery owners, wine educators, and renowned wine makers are selected
to present sessions during this national event. In addition, a
program educating members to become AWS certified wine judges is
conducted on the day preceding the seminars.
