Video Tasting Series: We Go Behind the Labels

Visitors to HinsdaleCellars.com can further supplement their knowledge of premium wines entering the market by accessing the site’s informative Vintelligence blog, where the debut segment of a new Video Tasting Series awaits.

Updated twice each month, the Vintelligence experience now includes broadcast-quality video features, showcasing the world’s most highly coveted premium wine and the people who make it possible.

Coming soon, meet the founder and owner of Blackbird Vineyards, Michael Polenske, who sat down with a crew from WinePeeks.TV, Hinsdale Cellars’ video production partner, to discuss the realization of his dream – to transform the Oak Knoll District into a prime region for Merlot.

This summer, the Video Tasting Series is scheduled to include one-on-ones with winemakers from various premium California wineries, including Ramey, Robert Foley and Vineyard 29, all on location.

The debut of our fine wine video series is hosted by Hinsdale Cellars co-founder Sean Chaudhry from the chic Eno wine bar inside Chicago’s elegant InterContinental Hotel. Chaudhry selected a trio of exceptional Pinot Noirs from three distinct growing regions in California, spanning from the rugged Santa Rita Hills of Santa Barbara County, on to the Santa Lucia Highlands of Monterey County, and to Sonoma County’s acclaimed Russian River Valley appellation.

“Our new series is really a virtual tasting experience for wine consumers who savor learning more about premium wine as much as they savor that first taste,” said Chaudhry, the proprietor in suburban Chicago of the Hinsdale Wine Shop.

This first installment of the Video Tasting Series takes those who celebrate sensational premium wine on a sensory journey. Chaudhry tastes and comments on a lush Failla Vineyard Pinot Noir ($42) from Sonoma County, followed by an A.P. VIN Rosella’s Vineyard ($44) release from Monterey County, and a hearty Melville Vineyard Estate Pinot ($33) from Santa Barbara County.
