Chablis Scholar Series
After several successful masterclasses in 2023, the Chablis Scholar Series returned in 2024 with the non-profit organization Hispanics in Wine & Spirits!
The Bourgogne Wine Board invited the community and qualified wine trade professionals to participate in this national education program and an exclusive series of masterclasses across the United States. Each session was led by a Bourgogne Wine Official Ambassador and a local sommelier, allowing the community to access new resources and broaden their knowledge about Chablis wines.
HIWS WINNER TO CHABLIS
Christopher Gomez, Beverage Manager and Sommelier at Sushi Noz in NYC, earned the number one spot in the Chablis Scholar Series. Amidst fierce competition across Los Angeles, Miami, Houston, and New York City, Christopher achieved the best score in the Unlock Chablis Competition and had the opportunity to join the Hispanics in Wine team on an unforgettable trip to Chablis.
We want to thank everyone who attended the Chablis Scholar Series that we hosted in partnership with the Bourgogne Wine Board. They were able to explore further and play the Unlock Chablis educational game and stay updated via Instagram using #PureChablis.
