  • Priorat Pioneers Celebrate 25 Years | Articles | Jancisrobinson.Com
    9/9/2014 Priorat pioneers celebrate 25 years | Articles | JancisRobinson.com FC Back to all articles Written by Ferran Centelles 9 Sep 2014 Priorat pioneers celebrate 25 years TASTING ARTICLES PRIORAT Those most closely involved in the extraordinary story of the revival of Priorat met in Barcelona last week to celebrate their 25th anniversary. (You can catch up with the story of how Priorat began to change from an almost abandoned corner of Catalunya to a prosperous and well-regarded wine region in Priorat - worth the money and in the Priorat entry in your online Oxford Companion). Five visionaries led by René Barbier (Clos Mogador) started almost from zero, sharing the same facility to produce what can be regarded as the first great contemporary Priorat wine in 1989. They were José Luis Perez (Clos Martinet), Daphne Glorian (Clos Erasmus), Álvaro Palacios (Finca Dofí, L’Ermita) and Carles Pastrana (Clos de l’Obac). Today they are all considered stellar producers worldwide. A commemorative lunch was organised at the outstanding Caelis restaurant in Barcelona. Sadly, just four of the five were present as Carles Pastrana declined to join the festivities. But the four remaining pioneers showed a fascinating miscellaneous tasting of their wines from different vintages and explained the evolution of their wines and the region. [Ferran's photo shows, left to right, Barbier, Perez, Glorian and http://www.jancisrobinson.com/articles/priorat-pioneers-celebrate-25-years 1/7 9/9/201w4 ines and the region.

  • Effects of Social Media on Enotourism. Two Cases Study: Okanagan Valley (Canada) and Somontano (Spain)

Cristófol 1 , Gorka Zamarreño Aramendia 2,* and Jordi de-San-Eugenio-Vela 3 1 ESIC, Business & Marketing School, Market Research and Quantitative Methods Department, 28223 Pozuelo de Alarcón (Madrid), Spain; [email protected] 2 Department of Theory and Economic History, University Malaga, 29013 Malaga, Spain 3 Communication Department, University of Vic; 08500 Vic, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-607-91-40-68 Received: 30 July 2020; Accepted: 17 August 2020; Published: 19 August 2020 Abstract: The aim of this article is to analyze the social media effects on enotourism. Two territories of similar extension and with historical coincidences in their development have been selected: the Okanagan Valley, Canada, and the region of Somontano, Spain. Methodologically, an analysis of the content on Twitter has been performed, collecting 1377 tweets. The conclusion is that wineries create sentimental and experiential links with the users, avoiding commercial communications. Specifically, Okanagan wineries establish a relevant conversation network on Twitter based on the high percentage of responses, which is 31.3%, but this is not so in the case of Somontano, which is 12.8%. The tourist attractions most used to create a bond are the wine landscape and the gastronomy in the case of both territories. The tourism sustainability variable remains a minor matter in the emission of messages on Twitter. Keywords: social network analysis; sustainable tourism; web 2.0; enotourism; Twitter; Somontano wines; Okanagan Valley wines; wines of British Columbia 1.

MONTSANT INFORMATION DOSSIER INTRODUCTION The D.O. Montsant (Designation of Origin or wine appellation), despite being a recently created wine appellation, has years of wine-making history to its name. Wine experts and press consider it to be an up and coming region and prestigious magazines such as “The Wine Spectator” have declared it to be “a great discovery”. The quality of Montsant wines is key to their success, as too is their great value for money. The prestigious Spanish wine guide, “Guia Peñin” agrees that “the quality of Montsant wines and their great prices make this region an excellent alternative.” In the United States, “Wine & Spirits” magazine have stated that “Montsant should be watched with interest”. Montsant wines appear in some of the most prestigious wine rankings in the World and they always tend to be the best priced amongst their rivals at the top of the list. The professionals and wineries behind the DO Montsant label are very enthusiastic. Many wineries are co-operatives with important social bases and the winemakers who make Montsant wines are often under 40 years old. We at the DO Montsant believe that youth, coupled with a solid wine-making tradition is synonymous of future, new ideas and risk-taking. To conclude, this is the DO Montsant today: a young wine appellation with a promising future ahead of it. 1 THE REGULATORY COUNCIL The wines of the DO Montsant are governed by the Regulatory council or body.

  • Garnacha-Grenache One Grape, Many Wines
    AT THE BAR garnacha/grenache GARNACHA/ GRENACHE SPANISH GARNACHA AND FRENCH GRENACHE: SAME GRAPE, MYRIAD WINE STYLES. BY DEBORAH GROSSMAN 54 THE NATIONAL CULINARY REVIEW • MAY/JUNE 2018 Roussillon, famous for vins doux naturels The five Roussillon AOPS for vins doux naturels, fortified sweet wines, have been well-known in the wine world since the appellation was defined in 1935: Rivesaltes, Maury, Banyuls, Banyuls Grand Cru and Muscat de Rivesaltes (white only). The sweet wine AOPs range from light-colored Ambré, Tuilé, Hors d’Age to Rancio and Grenat (garnet). High above the seaside village in Collioure, Vincent Cantié launched Domaine La Tour Vielle in the 1980s. Kermit Lynch of Berkeley, California, has imported Cantié’s wines for 30 years, partly because of the winery’s mission of following what nature gives their grapes rather than following the market. His mix of red, white, rosé and vin doux naturel has garnered him a wide reputation. Dan Davis, wine director at Commander’s Palace in New Orleans, has one of the largest lists of vin doux naturels in the U.S. He surprises guests by pairing a Domaine La Tour Vieille vin doux naturel with natural fruit flavors and acidity with courses during the chef’s tasting menu. Yet he also appreciates the growing number of dry wines from Roussillon, such as La Tour Vieille La Pinède, which he pairs with rustic dishes such as quince-lacquered quail. hen guests ask for Spanish wine at One Market in San Francisco, they usually mean Rioja or La Coume du Roy in Maury is Albariño, says Tonya Pitts, wine director.
