Press release from Wine Guild about the Loire Tour:
Wine Scholar Guild
announces the list of preeminent producers visited on its
2017 Loire Wine Immersion Trip
with Loire Native and Master Sommelier, Pascaline Lepeltier
Wine Scholar Guild (WSG) is pleased to announce the
list of preeminent producers scheduled to be visited during our 2017 Loire Wine
Immersion Trip. This trip offers tours of some of the most distinguished and
renowned Loire Valley wine cellars combined with intensive, professional-level
education and exclusive wine tastings. All visits are led by Pascaline
Lepeltier, MS, a prominent expert on the region.
Ms. Lepeltier, born and raised in the Loire Valley, achieved
the Master Sommelier title in 2014. She has quietly accrued an array of
impressive awards and accolades over her career, including “one of the five
best new US sommeliers” by Wine and Spirits magazine, one of the “40 under 40
Tastemakers” by Wine Enthusiast and “Best long wine list 2017” by World of Fine
Wine. Pascaline continues to make a name for herself as a noted author and
expert on Loire Valley wines. She is a passionate Loire Valley advocate who
will provide trip participants with an unparalleled opportunity to discover the
region from an insider’s perspective.
“To me, the Loire Valley is the greatest wine region
in the world for its diversity of styles and expression, its history, its
beauty, its quality & age worthiness for value, and its generous,
forward-thinking spirit. No wine region can combine so many qualities and so
many nuances in a bottle.”—Pascaline Lepeltier, MS
The Wine Scholar Guild will be offering just one trip
to the Loire Valley in 2017 and we will be visiting the crème de la crème of
Loire Valley estates and producers. We’ve carefully curated an exceptional mix of
