(May, 2014).- 

Following the celebrations held in Asia last March, the world-tour launched to celebrate ten years of the blind tasting initiative that toured 17 countries and established Chile’s place amongst the world’s greatest wine appellations, reached Europe revisiting some of the historical destinations where the Berlin Tasting took place.

The series of celebrations hosted by Eduardo Chadwick, President of Viña Errázuriz and Viña Seña, started in Copenhagen, Denmark, on Wednesday 21^st. There, a lunch with specialized Danish press and important members of the Sommeliers’ Association was carried out at the Nimb Restaurant, located at the famous Tivoli Gardens.

On Thursday 22^nd, top journalists, brokers and key gate keepers of the UK wine trade attended a special dinner in London, at the Ledbury, chosen N°10 in this year’s 50 Best Restaurants of the World’s list. Top chef Brett Graham created a menu to match the wines chosen to illustrate a number of milestones over these past 35 years, and Consultant Editor of Decanter Magazine, Steven Spurrier, creator of the Judgment of Paris, told about how the Berlin Tasting rolled out across the world and his experience alongside this process.

Then, on Friday 23^rd, in Zurich, Switzerland, a lunch with top clients took place at the 20/20 Restaurant, and another Gala Dinner was celebrated at the Zunfthaus zur Waag restaurant, once again pairing older vintages of the Chilean wines that participated in previous Berlin Tastings, with the highest quality gastronomy.

Last but not least, these celebrations in Europe are having a high-end closure with a commemorative Master Class within the context of the present Vinexpo Asia Pacific Hong Kong, one of the most important events on the industry calendar, where Eduardo Chadwick, Steven Spurrier and Jeannie Cho Lee, first Asian Master of Wine, will co-host a seminar honoring the Berlin Tasting and granting the attendees the unique opportunity to taste historic vintages of Chilean iconic wines.

The commemoration of the Berlin Tasting 10^th Anniversary is far from being over…it will continue, moving to the American continent in the second-half of this year.
