As the corporate fine wine buyer for Centennial Fine Wine & Spirits, Lance draws on sixteen years of experience to secure the top wines from around the world. He travels to every major wine producing region in the world to gain firsthand perspective from growers, winemakers, negociants and importers, maintaining an exhaustive tasting schedule to assess the quality of every selection. In addition to purchasing, he dedicates a lot of time to education and staff development for Centennial's wine consultant team.
His formal wine education began with the Wine & Spirit Education Trust, followed by the completion of level one with the Court of Master Sommeliers and l’Ecole du Vin through the CIVB (Conseil Interprofessionel du Vin de Bordeaux.) Lance’s dedication to the education and development of Bordeaux appreciation led to him being awarded Prud’homme de la Jurade de Saint-Emilion in 2008. Last year, he successfully completed the Certified Specialist of Wine through the Society of Wine Educators and plans to sit the Societies Certified Wine Educator exam this year.

The world of wine has exploded over the last two decades, with new producers popping up every day in every corner of the world. Long gone are the days when being cutting edge meant that you were in tune with the next cult Cabernet or garagiste Saint-Emilion producer or securing the top estates in Burgundy. |

Things come and go so quickly this time of year. There were several wines that I intended to comment on that sold out before I had to chance to sit down and organize my notes. Here are a few selections that are worth seeking out and there’s still a little quantity left. |

Louis/Dressner Real Wines Tasting - LONG POST!!!!

Eccentricity among wine importers is so common that the term nearly seems ill-accredited. Oddity and peculiarity are attributes that make the pursuits of these lunatics so very special. I speak not of importing easy to understand and even easier to market (with the help of cute, furry animals) fruit bombs. No, I’m referring to naturally made wines that speak to a sense of place, wines that are soulful and are never over-processed. These are wines from vignerons with no aspirations of fame, glory and ‘monster’ scores. |

The bad boy of Bordeaux? Tasting with Jean-Luc Thunevin
|
|
Submitted by Lance on Sat, 10/18/2008 - 04:11

Jean-Luc Thunevin’s rise to fame in the world of Bordeaux began with the premier release of his celebrated Chateau Valandraud in 1991. He quickly became known as one of the founding garagiste winemakers, a movement of quality crusaders who strive to make purer, riper wines than had been made in Bordeaux before. |
