Vinous Icons

The Vinous editorial team announces Vinous Icons, a global gathering that brings together a limited number of the world’s most respected vintners for several days of tastings and education. Designed for collectors and deeply curious wine lovers, Icons offers the opportunity to taste reference-point wines, engage directly with the Vinous team of reviewers, and deepen wine knowledge through seminars and conversations with owners and winemakers.

While in New York, Realm is honored to participate in Vinous Icons, pouring during both Icons Tastings and taking part in the Cabernet Franc from Around the World masterclass. We’re grateful to be included alongside such an exceptional and international group of producers.

A highlight of the weekend, this global masterclass—moderated by Antonio Galloni—explores both 100% Cabernet Franc bottlings and wines with a strong Franc presence from Napa Valley, Bordeaux, Bolgheri, Santa Barbara, and South Africa. The seminar brings together producers including Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion, Château La Gaffelière, Dalla Valle Vineyards, Jonata, OVID Napa Valley, Raats Family Wines, Realm Cellars, and Tenuta Guado Al Tasso, offering a thoughtful examination of the grape’s versatility, nuance, and expression of place.
