MERCAT a la planxa
Wine Tasting and Tapas
What an excellent event we had!
Last October 20th, 2010
Our first event in Illinois took place at Mercat Restaurant in Chicago, on October 20th at 3PM. The event was open to press, VIPs from US and Spain, distributors, importers, wholesalers and store owners, sommeliers and chefs that were able to share a cultural experience while learning about the wines and tasting excellent Spanish tapas.
Some of the owners and representatives of the wineries participating in CATALAN WINES USA 2010 travelled to Chicago for the event and they attended the tasting and wine presentation. They also spent 2 extra days in Illinois and had some one-on-one meetings with some of the most interested companies.
