Perrin

There’s family-run, and then there’s Famille Perrin—a Rhône dynasty that’s been working the same ancient soils since 1909, when Pierre Perrin's father-in-law, Pierre Traminer, acquired the estate. Over the years, they’ve become known for their quiet leadership in organic and biodynamic viticulture, letting grapes like Mourvèdre and Grenache do what they do best in the stony, wind-swept vineyards of Beaucastel. This tasting is a look at how one family’s generational mindset and hands-off approach can turn a handful of parcels into something enduring, expressive, and deeply tied to place.

Tuscany

Italian Buyer Orazio Campoli has hand-selected this show-stopping lineup of Tuscan greats! The region’s most celebrated wines were born from humble beginnings—small farms, ancient monasteries, and family-run estates that quietly shaped the character of the wines and reimagined what was possible on coastal and hillside soils. This tasting brings together bottles that speak not to opulence for its own sake, but to the patience, place, and persistence that have made these wines enduring benchmarks for collectors and longtime devotees of Italian wine.
