First Pol Roger blind tasting in Austria
Following the successful tastings they organized for the prestigious schools and universities in France and England, Pol Roger decided to expand the concept to Austria.
The first blind tasting took place on March 13th 2013 with the three following universities:
- Diplomatische Akademie Wien (Amédée de Radzitzky d'Ostrowick, Klemens Schwarz and Erik Szedely)
- Juridicum Wien (Johanna Hetzmannseder, Daniela Spießberger and Markus Kunze)
- Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien (Michael Kobyszewski, Jan Ratz and Alexander Thurnher)
The winning team was the Diplomatische Akademie with Klemens Schwarz as the individual winner.
Each set of wines was composed of 3 French wines, one Austrian, one European and one from the New World.
The tasting was held at the French Embassy from 4pm to 6.30pm and was followed by a cocktail party from 6.30pm to 9.30.
The members of the jury were Steve Breitzke (sommelier for Sofitel Vienna Stephansdom and president of the jury), Peter Lamprecht (sommelier for L. Derksen & Co), Hugues Romagnan (Pol Roger Export manager) and Jérémie Huillet (L. Derksen & Co, Pol Roger's importer).
This first event in Austria met a real success.
