Between January 14 and 26, 2013, the Union des Grand Crus de Bordeaux (UGCB) is touring North America with stops in 7 American and Canadian cities, including in Washington DC on January 24.
If you have not attended a UGCB tasting before, the 2013 UGCB tastings awards guests the opportunity to taste more than 100 different 2010 Bordeaux wines, as well as meet and talk with the owners/senior managers of the chateaux that produce the wine. It is a rare opportunity - and promises to be a memorable experience - to talk to the winemakers and owners of top Bordeaux chateaux, while being one of the first to taste the highly acclaimed 2010 vintage.
UGCB Tasting in Washington DC (January 24, 2013)
After a decade of absence, the UGCB is returning to Washington D.C. Pearson's Wine and Spirits is hosting the UGCB at the Willard Intercontinental Hotel's Grand Ballroom on January 24th.
That the UGCB North America Tour includes a stop in Washington DC is due to the tireless efforts of David Choi, Proprieter of Pearson's Wine and Spirits. “We've been working for over two years to bring this tasting event back to Washington.” David said.

2010 Vintage
The 2010 Bordeaux vintage has received tremendous press from the world's most influential critics on Bordeaux wines:
Robert Parker: "I have tasted enough wines from 2005, 2009 and 2010 to realize that these may be the three greatest Bordeaux vintages I have tasted in my career”.
James Suckling: "The 2010 vintage is clearly a great vintage, with dozens of exceptional wines. Some of the baby reds are chateaux's best ever, or best in decades. They will be must buys for Bordeaux lovers around the world."

Stephen Spurrier, Decanter Magazine: “2010, the greatest Bordeaux vintage in modern times….” and "Producers and critics are resisting saying 'best ever', but this focused, serious, age-worthy vintage ... is drawing comparisons to 1982 and even 1947."
James Molesworth Wine Spectator: Gave the vintage 95-98 points and called it an "Exceptional Vintage"
Neil Martin, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: “There are grounds for the hype…2010 is a great vintage”
