Cayuga’s Culinary Director Jose Lopez invited Hans Pfister, President of Cayuga Sustainable Hospitality and Federico Guardian, Food &Beverage Manager of the Harmony Hotel in Nosara for a wine tasting of organic and biodynamic wines at the offices of Alpiste in Escazu.
The focus of the wine tasting session were wines from the Bodega Noemia in Patagonia, Argentina. The session was led by professional Sommelier Randal Calderon and the group was joined by Pietro Poma, the owner of Alpiste. The Cayuga hotels strive to have a 100% organic wine menu by 2012 and continue to focus on “local” wines from South America, predominantly Chile and Argentina. The most memorable wine we tried was the Bodega Noemia Malbec, a single varietal Malbec that has 18 months in French oak and is rated with 95 Points by the Wine Spectator. Look for this wine on the wine list of Lapa Rios, Arenas del Mar and Harmony soon. An unforgettable culinary experience.
