IWCA gathers in person for the first time, at Prowein The Covid-19 pandemic had prevented us from holding in-person member gatherings—but we finally got the chance at Prowein in Düsseldorf this May, which 15 IWCA wineries (Members & Applicants) attended. At the Primum Familiae Vini booth, they met and toasted to IWCA. Many thanks to Miguel A. Torres, Rob Symington, and Charles Perrin for hosting the gathering! |
