Auctions, Italian invasions, and Burgundy luncheons — featuring the best of the north and south poles of the region — kept WD busy from east coast to the west all month long. June was the culmination of months of hard work and the PR/CR team couldn’t be happier with the results. Bravo! Also, only 25 days and counting until the Wilson Daniels 2016 National Sales Meeting in Paradise Valley, AZ. Weather report shows record-breaking temperatures, so be sure to pack your sun hat!

A few of the juicy details…

• hot press: Arista Winery, Chateau Gassier, Kumeu River and Royal Tokaji are smokin’ with 90+ press from Wine Spectator
