Description
Thanks to sponsors Wilson Daniels and Arnaldo Caprai winery, there is a three hour seated tasting seminar with world-renown Sommelier Charlie Arturaola who along with Sommelier Christopher Sawyer, an American ambassador for the Concours Mondial du Brussels, and Michael Traverso, Senior Brand Manager Italian Estates, will introduce wines from the grapes of the Italo-Argentinean comedy The Duel of Wine about a sommelier (starring Arturaola) who has lost his sense of taste. The film screens after the seminar.
Shot in some of Italy’s most evocative cities and wine regions from Piedmont and the Veneto to Umbria and Sardinia, the film is a madcap blend of comedy and emotion, wine tasting and infomercial, featuring cameos of winemakers and chefs playing themselves. Among them are the naturally comic Marco Caprai of Montefalco’s Arnaldo Caprai.
The tasting seminar dubbed “Taste your Senses – The Family Wines of The Duel” includes tastes of wines that are featured in the film including ;
Montefalco, Arnaldo Caprai Umbria-Italy
Champagne Gosset Reims-France,
Venissa -Bisol-Veneto-Italy

The famous Sommelier Charlie Arturaola fell from grace after a momentary loss of his taste during the shooting of a movie. The image of "a Sommelier without palate" destroyed his career. After a few years, Charlie becomes a taxi driver, but he never gave up of dreaming to get his reward back. When Charlie accidently gets to know the newcomer Italian sommelier, he will come with a crazy plan to try to get back into the wine world!Preceded by: Lambrusco, Behind the Glass, Ruiz and Ramirez (Gary Ruiz and Chris Ramirez Giovacchini), “Taste your Senses – The Family Wines of The Duel”
