Select Brands Trade Development Manager Debra Taylor – Select Brandsfeatured wines from the Charles Smith Winery in a largely underexplored area:Washington state. “We showed their Velvet Devil Merlot with its lush fruitynotes and medium tannins; the explosive Boom Boom Syrah with its lusciousripe dark fruit notes and smooth tannins; their off-dry Kung Fu Riesling whichwas refreshing with good acidity and a big hit as it was not sweet and not dryeither; as well as their Eve Chardonnay with its juicy tropical fruit notes andbalanced acidity,” said Taylor. The highlight of the evening was GH MummGrand Cordon Brut Champagne for which speed king Usain Bolt is CEO (ChiefEntertainment Officer). Its persistent bubbles, crisp acidity and delightful applenotes were the perfect way to #dare.win.celebrate. Salut!
