he program
Friday | 22 July 2016
The weekend is hosted by Marinela Ardelean,
Romania´s cosmopolitan wine-ambassador
who chose to dedicate herself to changing the
international image of Romanian wines after
an award winning career in the “old world” of
wines in Italy, Champagne and Bordeaux.
I
n her first book “50 de vinuri românești
întâlnesc 50 de preparate culinare italiene”,
which was awarded by OIV and Gourmand
International, Marinela paired Romanian
wines with recipes from Italian Michelin Star
restaurants. Her next book “The Wine Book of
Romania” is the first guide to classify (with the
help of an independent and highly qualified
international jury) and introduce the best wines
from Romania and the Moldavian Republic to a
national and international audience!
Undoubtedly Marinela is now one of the
most knowledgable persons when it comes to
Romanian wines, and her passion, dedication
and appreciation for this emerging wine making
country will surely inspire all guests who have
not yet had the pleasure of meeting her!
