Most highly regarded; Zuccardi has been awarded the distinction of “World´s Best Vineyard and The Best Vineyard in South America: Zuccardi Valle de Uco (Argentina)” as well as having just received 100 points from Robert Parker for the 2nd consecutive vintage of the phenomenal Piedra Infinita Malbec.
Zuccardi’s outpost sits at 3600ft above sea level, at the foot of the Andes Mountains which compose a breathtaking backdrop over the vineyards. A master of interpreting terroir, varying microclimates, soils, and altitudes express their identity in each of Zuccardi’s world class wines. The estate ranked #1 on the World’s Best Vineyards of 2019 list, gaining further recognition and praise from already infatuated critics.
As usual, we’ll begin with a reception featuring the Zuccardi Sparkling Blanc de Blanc. We’ll then have the opportunity to try the new vintages of several superb Chardonnay and Malbec wines and indulge in the Finca Series, among Argentina’s, if not the World’s best wines , concluding with their lovely Malamado Port.
An appropriately paired menu specially prepared by the French Club’s amazing Chef Lionel Balbastre will accompany these wines to be showcased, potentially adding a few surprises:
· Sparkling Blanc de Blancs
· Q Chardonnay
· Fosil Chardonnay
· Emma Bonarda Malbec
· Jose Zuccardi Malbec
· Concreto Malbec
· Finca Piedra Infinita Malbec
· Canal Uco
· Los Membrillos

I invite you to join me for what promises to be yet another entertaining and educational bacchanal as we tour through Valle de Uco’s best sites.
