Wine Wednesday with Patrick Will & Guigal
February 4 | 5:00–7:00 pm | Boulder Wine Merchant
We’re thrilled to welcome Patrick Will, Vice President and Director of Brand Development for VINTUS, as our special guest for Wine Wednesday. VINTUS is one of the country’s leading importers of fine wine, representing an elite portfolio of benchmark producers from around the world.
For this tasting, Patrick will guide us through the celebrated Northern Rhône wines of E. Guigal, with a focus on the great Syrah appellations of Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, Hermitage, and Côte-Rôtie.
Founded in 1946 and now run by the third generation of the Guigal family, E. Guigal has become one of the most iconic estates in the Rhône Valley. Based in Ampuis, the historic heart of Côte-Rôtie, Guigal is renowned for meticulous vineyard sourcing, long élevage in oak, and a house style that combines power, polish, and remarkable aging potential. Beyond their famous single-vineyard “La La” wines, Guigal’s broader range is celebrated for delivering authenticity and pedigree at every level, from regional bottlings to the great hillside crus.
This is a rare opportunity to taste across multiple Northern Rhône appellations and vintages with expert commentary from Patrick. Whether you’re a longtime Rhône collector or simply Syrah-curious, this lineup beautifully illustrates the diversity of terroir along the Rhône River.
