Weingut Erich Meier
Erich Meier ist experimentierfreudig, innovativ, eigenständig und hat ein gutes Gespür für Trends. Manchmal arbeitet er Tag und Nacht, bis der Wein seine Vollendung erreicht hat – und seinem Qualitätsanspruch gerecht wird. Bei der Kelterung gehört er zu den Trendsettern, bei den Reben dagegen setzt er auf die alten, seit Jahrzehnten bewährten Sorten, die am Zürichsee optimal gedeihen. So kreiert Erich Meier in Uetikon am See fruchtige, charaktervolle Weine auf höchstem Niveau – und gibt damit dem Zürichsee-Wein eine neue Dimension, die Fachleute und Weinliebhaber gleichermassen überzeugt.

Château Biac
Sometimes life is full of surprises. The Lebanese Asseily family experienced this first-hand when they became the owners of Château Biac as if by accident in 2006. They regularly spent their summer holidays near Biac, but never would they have dreamt that they would own and manage this wonderful property themselves one day. It’s a fascinating story that Tony and Youmna Asseily are happy to share over a glass of their wine.
Viñedos Terranoble
Soon after their arrival, the first Spanish colonists were already remarking the ideal vine growing conditions in Chile. In this country of great contrasts, embedded between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean, the many wine regions differ significantly through micro-climate, topography and altitudes, and geological properties. TerraNoble owns vineyards in three different regions and so can provide different varieties with the most suitable growing conditions.

We didn’t find the low house, dating from the 17th century, straight away, even though the village of Bouzy is not very large. Modest buildings are grouped around a courtyard, behind which a vineyard lies, similar to a clos.
