EUREKA California Wine 2024

 

EUREKA! Discovering California Wines

Montreal Industry

April 25, 2024

The EURECA California Wine Tasting event was quite impressive. It was held on Le Grand Quai at the Old Port in the historical Old Montreal, offering an imposing view of the St Laurence river flowing by. A great number of the California wine producers participated in this event, each presenting a number of different types of wines and vintages, a truly impressive selection of wines to taste and to discover by the Quebec wine professionals.

It was quite physically impossible to taste  all the excellent wines offered by the different California vineyards presented at the show. All the wine displays were attractive, and the wine regional differences interesting to experience.  


The California organic wine was also represented at the show. The Bonterra Organic Estate had avery spacious and attractive kiosk that offered healthy and special wines to amuse and delight one's taste buds. It was a real pleasure to try their wines.

Food was also generousely offered at the show to all the attendants with specialty cheeses, cold cuts, fruits, nuts and other delights. The food table was very much appreciated by all the attendees and became even a gathering place to reconnect with others and to exchange their wine tasting experiences.

It was a well organized show that united many wine professionals and offered them new experiences and opportunities to establish new contacts and to find new business partners.

California Wine - Montreal 2023

 

Eureka! Discover California Wines

May 10, 2023

California Wine Show welcomed not only the Quebec wine professionals but also an impressive number of the general public. It took place at the picturesque Montreal's Old Port, in a spacious and bright pavilion located on the St Laurence river's Le Grand Quai.

The Show presented to wine connoisseurs a wide array of great California wines. There were over 100 wine producers from various California wine growing regions who showcased more than 400 different wines. This regional tasting also included a special climate action exhibit titled "California Wines on a mission" and a sensory garden to explore the aromas of wine. This event offered wine tasting experience from many regions and appellations. It was also a special occasion to meet many vineyard representatives to be able to learn more about what makes their wines so special. This was an excellent opportunity to taste California wines!

The show was also a fundraising event to benefit the Pierre-Boucher Hospital Foundation:

Beyond government investments that help build the infrastructure essential to health care, it is the generosity of donors that allows the Foundation to improve the services and equipment of the Pierre-Boucher Hospital care units. Since its creation in 1987, the Foundation has donated more than $50 million to Hôpital Pierre-Boucher to finance numerous projects. This support addresses both the acquisition of high-tech medical and general patient care equipment, as well as the means to improve the care and the work environment of doctors and employees.


Tables with food, greatly appreciated by all the attendance, were catered by the PARREIRA TRAITEURE.
