Paso Robles, California winery is invited to participate in an international wine symposium held in Havana, Cuba, to celebrate the recent lifting of\u00a0the US-Cuba trade and travel embargo.<\/p>\n
Paso Robles, CA, January 27, 2016 –(PR.com)– The Wine Institute and California Wine Export Program have\u00a0invited Paso Robles\u2019 Peachy Canyon Winery to participate in the first-ever California Wine Symposium in Havana,\u00a0Cuba, taking place from January 31st \u2013 February 3rd, 2016.<\/p>\n
Peachy Canyon Winery will be participating in this educational wine forum focused on introducing American wines to\u00a0the Cuban market. Founding vintner Doug Beckett will be speaking at a pre-tasting wine seminar in Havana as part\u00a0of the event, where he has also been asked to introduce Peachy Canyon\u2019s multi-award winning Bordeaux-style wine,\u00a0Para Siempre, to Cuban sommeliers, restauranteurs, chefs and hotel managers.<\/p>\n
The Cuba wine tasting event is the result of 10-months of planning with local Cuban distributors, wine experts, and\u00a0restaurant and resort managers assessing the market potential for California wines by Sonoma-based US Cava\u00a0Exports. Excitement surrounding President Obama\u2019s recent modifications to the US-Cuba trade and travel embargo\u00a0has led to increased American, Canadian and European interest and tourism in Cuba. The Beckett\u2019s are honored by\u00a0the opportunity to officially introduce Paso Robles\u2019 wines to Cuba. In the words of Doug Beckett: “To have been\u00a0selected to be a part of this group of some of the finest wines and winemakers is truly a privilege and honor.\u00a0Representing Peachy Canyon and Paso Robles is without a doubt the icing on the cake.\u201d
