We are sending a HUGE congratulations to one of our members Daneche Ballintine, on recently completing her WSET Level 3. 👏 She is a member of our Club Thrive initiative, where we fund professional development in hospitality, food, wine, and spirits. Daneche passed with merit in theory and distinction in taste. Her message to use read, "I’m unable to express how pleased and relieved I am. It’s an amazing accomplishment, and it’s given me a much-needed confidence boost." Based in Manchester, she is an example of our reach, as we support hospitality professionals across the UK on an ongoing basis! We are really excited to follow her path within the industry as someone keen and always actively seeking professional development. Congratulations again, Daneche! Thank you to Gérard Basset Foundation for funding this!

We are so excited to let you know about a very special wine tasting coming up on September 30 in London's 67 Pall Mall, open also to non-members in reflection of the unusual nature of the evening. Hosted by – and in aid of – the Gérard Basset Foundation in association with the Bordeaux Mentor Week, this is a tasting of exceptional – and rare – wines from the Bordeaux pantheon. As well as wines from several classed growths across both Left and Right Bank, Jane will present two wines from the vaunted Liber Pater, sourced from ungrafted vines and varieties that were common pre-phylloxera but have since been outlawed. The hugely limited Pater Denarius 2020 is rarely seen at tastings, while is the brand’s new wine, from Naxos in Greece, and has yet to be tasted in the UK. Further afield, we will also have the first taste of the 2021 vintage of Cheval des Andes – Cheval Blanc’s Argentinian outpost, along with Travis Braithwaite and Michel Rolland’s multi-continent project, Pangaea, a Bordeaux-style blend sourced from Napa Valley, Stellenbosch, Mendoza, Dehesa del Carrizal in Spain and the Right Bank of Bordeaux. And there are prizes on offer along the way!! Proceeds from the event will go to the Gérard Basset Foundation, which funds programmes that support a diverse range of communities all over the world in making careers in wine open to all, regardless of background or circumstance. Among the initiatives it underwrites is the Bordeaux Mentor Week, which gives scholars the chance to immerse themselves in the winemaking, viticulture, sales, marketing and distribution of Bordeaux via an on-the-ground week in the region. Three former scholars will join us on the night to talk about their experiences and subsequent career path, along with Jane and co-founder Chinedu Rita Rosa. We'd love you to be with us - tickets on the link below. https://lnkd.in/e7Ht9v6A 67 Pall Mall Chinedu Rita ROSA Christian Holthausen Gérard Basset Foundation Clos du Clocher Château du Tertre La Maison Cardinale [Château Fleur Cardinale] Château Brane-Cantenac #67pallmall #mentorship #gerardbassetfoundation #academieduvinfoundation #winetasting #winecharity #bordeauxmentorweek #ittakesavillage #mentorship #bordeauxmentorweek #mentorship #wineeducation #iwscfoundation #winescholarguild #chateaudutertre #duquesneclub #bordeauxwine #winetraining # insidebordeaux #careerdevelopment #mentoring #businessofwine #wineindustry #jobsinwine #winecritic #wineexpert #diversityinwine #vinesbyrosa

The third edition of the Bordeaux Mentor Week is just over a month away. We'd like to say a huge thank you once again to the sponsors who make this week, aimed at increasing diversity and equality in wine, possible. - Gerard Basset Foundation has a mandate to fund #educational and #professional programmes focused on supporting #diversity, #equity, and #inclusion in the #wine, #spirits, and #hospitality industries. Their mission is to provide funding for programmes that significantly enhance the career opportunities of those that they support. - The Academie du Vin Foundation (formery IWSC Foundation) is dedicated to supporting Education, Equality and Sustainability within the wines and spirits industry. It's the charitable arm of #theconversiongroup and is aimed at ensuring ideas and talent aren't held back by access to opportunity and resources. - The Wine Scholar Guild is extending free access to their Bordeaux Masters programmes for our seven scholars. - Château du Tertre is generously welcoming our eight scholars for the week, providing them with accommodation in their stunning Margaux estate. - The châteaux welcoming us this year include: Château Fleur Cardinale, Château Lynch Bages and VINIV, Château Brane Cantenac, Bernard Magrez wine incubator, Château Angludet, CVBG negociants, Fondation Terroir et Paysage. - Also for the first time with this 3rd edition, members of the Duquesne Club in Pittsburgh have generously supported the programme through an auction held last October while I was at the club for their 150th anniversary tasting. The auction offered wines and experiences by châteaux including Latour, Angélus, Canon, Smith Haut-Lafitte, Pavie, Pichon Comtesse, Margaux, Haut-Baily and La Fleur-Pétrus.. A huge thank you to all of them - and best of luck to our new round of scholars to the mentor week, to be held September 23-27 2024.
