16. THE SILK ROAD (Friday, June 9)

Few wine experiences match the intoxicating aroma of finely aged wines. Ethereal, silky and perfumed, their superb delicacy makes them immediately appealing and sometimes deceivingly evolved, yet a few years, or even decades of patience will offer sure reward. This seminar is devoted to aged and old fortified wines –an elating experience for the initiated connoisseur, and an uncharted territory for those who rarely venture beyond fruit and tannins.
