Global Vineyard Importers was founded in the spring of 2001 and is based in Berkeley, California. The company’s vision then as it is now was to create a small, quality-oriented national importer specializing in family-owned, boutique wineries from South America with a focus on regionally and diversity.
We are fortunate to import and represent in the U.S. some of the very best wineries from among the most talented winemakers working in South America.
We specialize in introducing and creating markets for interesting, up-and-coming varietals such as Carmenere, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Carignan and Tannat, and the leading-edge, artisan wineries who produce them. Global Vineyard is uniquely positioned to introduce you to the wine stars of tomorrow.”

1st Course
Sautéed Shrimp with Smokey Grits and Cilantro Sauce

Wine-Apaltagua Reserva Chardonnay
“A lovely brilliant yellow hue, our Apaltagua Reserva Chardonnay has ?ecks of green, and is clean and bright. Aromatically, it reveals hints of tropical fruit, such as passion fruit and pineapple.  In the mouth it is fresh, with a hint of minerality and a ?nish that is delicate but elegant and leaves a persistent note of citrus at the end.”

2nd Course
Pulled Pork Tostada with Asian Slaw and Chipotle Vinaigrette

Wine-Maquis Carménère
“Nice bright red violet color. Intense sweet red fruits, fresh blackberries, hints of black species and roasted peppers. In the palate, it’s well-structured with a beautiful balance between freshness and body. The tannins are sweet and delicate, with a long and fruity finish.”
