“A long summer weekend devoted to this compelling grape and the regions that do it best.”

That’s how Christa Glennie, Food Editor at Buffalo Spree magazine, describes the International Cool Climate Chardonnay Celebration (i4C).

Christa captures what makes i4C so distinct:

“Having this many serious producers pouring over one weekend… is a genuinely rare thing.”

Her advice?

“Taste wines you have never encountered, meet the people who made them.”

And the outcome?

“Leave with a much wider picture of what cool climate Chardonnay looks like around the world.”

Her final word?

“For anyone who loves wine and this corner of the world, this kind of access is a memorable experience.”
