Neal Rosenthal Tutored Tasting

"The Mad Rose Group is the corporate umbrella for a close-knit group of people who understand that wine is an agricultural product and that in its best and purest form wine must reflect a specific sense of place."Neil shares the goal of communicating this concept to an ever-increasing public by presenting the finest examples of wine made in this classical tradition. I just finished his book "Reflections of a Wine Merchant." A great read and inspiration to me in how I want to conduct business in wine.The objective for Neil from the outset was to work as directly as possible with growers who were dedicated to producing limited quantities of the finest quality wines and who shared the his passion for "terroir", that ephemeral "sense of place". Over the last 30 years he has assembled an amazing portfolio of winemakers from France and Italy. He along with a handful of other importers leads the charge to restore wine to it's rightful place and away from the marketing madness the wine world has become today preferring to seek out other small sources of supply rather than work with a cooperative, negociant, or large commercial producer to keep the flow of wine coming.We're excited to bring Neil's portfolio to Charlotte with Trey Stephenson, Neil's SE Regional sales manager for a tutored tasting of the country's leading, 100% organic, 100% estate bottled wines. Real wine from real people with a sense of place and purpose.
