DIAM and G3 Enterprises invite you to the fourth annual Wine Conversations: A Global Tasting and Marketing Forum. This program aims to provide greater insights and perspectives in winemaking and wine marketing, and is a forum for winemakers and wine marketers to share ideas and learn from one another.

Master Sommelier Evan Goldstein has selected top quality wines from all over the world for an exciting, double-blind tasting. Hone your tasting skills and enjoy a panel discussion with top winemakers in this master class hosted by Evan. He is one of the nation's most prolific food and wine industry veterans. In 1987 he became the eighth American and youngest ever at the time to pass the prestigious Master Sommelier examination. He has since written several critically-acclaimed books, including Perfect Pairings , Daring Pairings and An Essential Guide to the Wines of South America.

Our goal is to bring you fresh perspectives from the marketplace each year. This year's keynote will be delivered by Annette Alvarez-Peters from Costco who will present her thoughts and insights on the market. Costco has been recognized as Retailer of the Year by Wine Enthusiast (2015), Washington State Wine Industry (2015), and MarketWatch (2011). In addition, Annette has been named on the biennial Decanter’s Powerlist from 2005-2013 and in Fortune/Food &Wine Top 25 Innovative Women, Food & Drink.

John Bigelow, Owner and Winemaker at JM Cellars, and Trey Busch, Co-Owner and Winemaker at Sleight of Hand Cellars, will also be joining us to provide winery vignettes and answer questions posed by Evan following the global tasting.
