Visitors included Salvatore Rizzo, who owns one of New York’s most prestigious cooking schools, De Gustibus.
As a result, Cox will be pairing his wines at this venue, over two nights, with food presented by award-winning celebrity chefs Rocco DiSpirito and Franklin Becker.
Another visitor was a Hollywood actor/producer, who’s invited him to host a private wine tasting at his home in Santa Monica, California.
Then, in Texas, he’ll present his wines at an exclusive country club and at the home of an NBA championship-winning basketball coach.
Cox says he, his wife Leah Seifert and vineyard manager Nick Stringer believe a focus on quality is important for Gibbston’s future.
"We have the luxury market on our doorstep, so let’s take our high-quality product and market it to the right people to ensure the viability of viticulture in Gibbston and secure the future of Gibbston as a world-class wine-growing region."
