We are excited to announce an exclusive opportunity to experience the legendary wines of E. Guigal, whose founder Marcel Guigal was once called “this planet’s greatest winemaker” by Robert Parker. Join us on May 9 at 6 p.m. as we explore five exquisite Syrah-based wines from Northern Rhone, crafted by the Guigal family, who have set the benchmark for every Rhone appellation over the last three generations. Their dedication to quality and exceptional value has made them one of the most lauded producers in the world.
The Guigal family’s story began with Etienne Guigal, who founded the firm in 1946. Today, the family’s tradition of leadership and uncompromising excellence is carried on by Etienne’s grandson Philippe. With 150 acres of the finest vineyards in the Northern Rhone, their vineyard management and winemaking techniques have made them an extraordinary force in the wine industry.
