Slocum & Sons hosted an April visit from Mikel Eguren, Export Manager for Sierra Cantabria and fifth-generation family member of the highly acclaimed Spanish winemaking Eguren family. Wines produced include Sierra Cantabria (Rioja), Teso La Monja (Toro), Señorio de San Vicente (Rioja) and Viñedos de Páganos (Rioja). The event brought together members of the Club Management Association of America Connecticut chapter at Il Pellicano in Fairfield for a guided tasting event and an education session. Wines were presented by Eguren, whose wineries are known for single-vineyard wines focused on the tempranillo grape. Guests enjoyed accompanying cuisine by Il Pellicano. Marcos Eguren, Mikel’s brother, has been distinguished as Winemaker of the Year by Tim Atkin, Co-chairman of the International Wine Challenge and Master of Wine, in his “Special Report Rioja 2023,” which recognizes Eguren’s oenological work. Since 1870, the family has been dedicated to the cultivation of vines and the production and aging of the best wines of La Rioja.
