After the success of last year’s summer wine event, Yorkville hosted its 2nd annual wine tasting at the Shangri-La Hotel on September 11, 2014. Located in downtown Toronto in the midst of the Toronto International Film Festival, the event brought together over 120 of Yorkville’s clients and friends for a tutored wine tasting featuring wines from the esteemed Antinori Winery in Tuscany.
The tasting was led by the head of exports for Antinori, Mr. Niccolo Maltinti, and introduced guests to some of the most sought after Italian wines, including the Tiganello and a rare sparkling rose wine; this rose was so limited that only eight bottles were available in Canada at the time.
Guests were also treated to musical entertainment courtesy of Bellosound and violin soloist Sarah Davidson Gurney. Yorkville President Hussein Amad also made a brief presentation on the challenges faced in the markets in the first half of 2014, as well as what the company hopes to achieve as we embark on the close of summer and enter the fourth quarter of 2014.
Thank you to all those who joined and made it such a special and successful event; we hope to see you all next year as we venture into yet another wine country. Perhaps Spain next?
