02.27.2012

Tasting the Wines of Slovenia Monday, February 27, 2:00pm – 5:00pm

Organizer/Leader: Conrad “Mac” Goodwin, Independent Scholar, Maja Djorev, University of Tennessee
Trip Capacity: 25    Cost/person: $40 (includes subway fare, wine tasting fees)
Sponsored by the AAG European Specialty Group and Wine Specialty Group

The central European country of Slovenia produces many fine wines, few of which are known in the United States. On this fieldtrip/workshop we will walk or take the subway to LeDu Wines, (Zagat's #1 wine store, NYC 2011/2012), where we will learn about Slovenia's winegrowing regions. Mr. Emil Gaspari, a wine expert from Slovenia, will preside over the tasting of 15 different wines from Slovenia. We will be able to talk with him, Mr. Jean-Luc Le Dû, and other Slovene wine experts and have the opportunity to order or purchase the wines.

 02.11.2012 Slovene Wine Tasting - February 11 - 12, honorary consul Dr. Lydia M. Pulsipher with the assistance of Mr. Emil Gaspari hosted a Slovene wine tasting at the very well attended Tennessee wine growers and producers convention in Gatlinburg. As part of this event, Maja Djorcev, a Slovene graduate student at the University of Tennessee gave a very well received presentation on wine production in Slovenia,including traditional and organic and biodynamic versions thereof. Maja Djorcev will present a paper on issues regarding marketing Slovene wines at the AAG (Association of American Geographers) conference in NYC, which is scheduled for Sunday, February 26, 2012, from 8:00 AM to 9:40 AM in Holland Suite, fourth floor of the Hilton New York hotel. Maja’s paper is an introduction to organic viticulture in Slovenia, and an analysis of the potential benefits of “cluster marketing” to the country’s organic wine producers. Establishing a good marketing model is essential for future organic wine development in Slovenia. Furthermore, this model can be a good example for other wine growing regions where small-scale wine production can be a niche marketing opportunity rather than a barrier.
