US Ambassador Anne S. Andrew / Promoting California Wine in Costa Rica

Promoting California Wine in Costa Rica 

San Jose-February 19, 2010

Ambassador Andrew greeted members of the California Wine Institute who traveled to Costa Rica to promote their fine quality Californian wine. The event was held at the Real InterContinental and representatives of California wineries, both large-scale and small, gathered to conduct a wine tasting seminar. Heck Estates, Hahn Family Wine, Sommelier, Hope Wines, and Constellation showcased their fine wines at this event. 

With the implementation of CAFTA, representatives were also seeking out new opportunities to offer their products to more Costa Rican consumers via distribution outlets such as restaurants, hotels, as well as stores and supermarkets. The California Wine Institute is the voice for California wine representing more than 1,000 wineries and affiliated businesses from the beautiful and diverse wine regions throughout the state.
