Meet Shawn Mead!



Shawn Mead, the newest addition to Louis/Dressner Selections, is on a west coast tour promoting the Blaterle from the cult winery Weingut Nusserhof in Italy’s Alto Adige. Shawn is appearing today in Portland Oregon, at a Triage Wines tasting. Sean will be elsewhere tomorrow.

I once ate at Campagne. Shawn ran an exemplary wine program there. It's great that Louis/Dressner has been able to attract such a dynamic person to their ranks!

ask Jean Fisch about those 1989 and 1999 Blaterle we had chez Mayr-Nusserhof the night of Aug. 13th... a truly remarkable surprise.

oh, the 1991 Lagrein Kretzer (rosé) was not bad either.

I think Shawn is concentrated on more recent vintages before she starts selling the Library releases from Mayr-Nusserhof.
