The Orchard Harvest Spritz 🍊

The perfect fall cocktail awaits—cozy, seasonal, and made for sipping all season long. ⏳ Bottles are selling out fast, so grab yours before it's gone.

The secret? A peeled mandarin with a little rosemary stem, frozen right into the bottom of the glass. It chills your drink without watering it down, and by the last sip it's the best bite of the whole thing.

HOW TO MAKE IT

Peel a mandarin, keeping it whole. Press a small sprig of rosemary into the top for the stem. Set it in the bottom of a stemless glass with a splash of water and freeze at least 4 hours.

When you're ready to pour:
1 oz elderflower liqueur
4 oz Orchard Harvest
3 oz club soda

Pour in that order, serve right away, and let the little pumpkin do the rest. 🥂

Save this one for your next fall gathering.

ASI Bootcamp 2026 — what an incredible experience! 🍷

Being surrounded by so many talented people who share the same passion for wine and service was an absolute pleasure.

I was given the opportunity by Piotr to help organise the ASI Bootcamp in São Paulo, Brazil. I had never experienced a bootcamp before, but knowing how well organised ASI is, I thought: Of course, I’m in!

I joined an amazing team, with Xeniya at the heart of the organisation. Her ability to keep track of everything, see the bigger picture, and make things happen is truly impressive. Without her, I honestly don’t know how we would have managed. Thank you for being such an incredible person.

I’m also very grateful to Piotr for trusting me with this responsibility. He is such a wonderful person to work with — incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and with a sense of humour just as crazy as mine!

Working alongside great personalities such as Søren Polonius and Mark Almert, as well as all the other tutors, was an incredible experience. Their knowledge, passion, and generosity were truly inspiring. Thank you all for your help, support, and kindness throughout the week.

I had the pleasure of leading a fantastic group of volunteers who had signed up to help make the bootcamp run smoothly. Coming from a very different culture, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but they were absolutely amazing.

It became such a harmonious group — people who understood when it was time to be serious, when it was time to work hard, and when it was time to have fun, laugh, and enjoy the experience. I’m incredibly proud of what we achieved together. And, most importantly, I’ve made new friends across South America — and even one from Canada! ❤️

Our job was to make sure everything ran smoothly for the 48 participants from all over the world, allowing them to focus entirely on learning, developing new skills, and discovering new ways of doing things.

And what a wonderful group they were! Not only incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, but also genuinely kind and welcoming. Thank you all for making the volunteers feel so appreciated

Ever had a Thai lemongrass margarita with a Corona beer chaser? 🍹🍺
I have… and it was surprisingly delish! Thanks for introducing me to this combo, Emily Wines! 🍻 @coronausa

If not shared and used, knowledge tends to loose it’s relevance. I once asked myself, long time ago, ”if i don’t share, am i actually good in what i do? Am i an good example for the ranks in our industry?” Thank you @asisomms_ for handing out the tools for making others great at what they do. Thank you all professionals that helps us spreading the knowhow during the ASI bootcamps and in the EEC. Very proud, being a part of it all. 🙏🏼🙌🏼 Photocred:ASI

ASI Bootcamp 2026 - second time for the Americas 🔥 this time in São Paulo, Brazil 🇧🇷
3 days of super intense classes: blind tastings, service workshops, theory classes, partner masterclasses 👏
It’s an honour to be part of the team and bring together such an incredible event, for the sixth time already ❤️
I obviously appreciate everyone’s efforts - partners, tutors, organization team, host association, but my eternal gratitude goes to the volunteers who help us actually put this into reality 👏🥂
I will not say it was easy, but seeing the participants being so inspired and engaged always outweighs all the efforts 😊

Day 3 (and final day) of this edition of ASI Bootcamp! We can’t believe how fast the time flew by! And what a day it has been - starting strong as usual with our morning blind tasting sessions, making a quick pit stop learning about Food and Wine, and later deep diving into beer fermentations, our afternoon today was packed with knowledge from our partners: diversity and excellence of Vinhos Verdes, fine water as part of the gastronomic experience and new trends in mixology.

@vinhosverdeswines @vinhosverdesoficial @perlage_water @underberg #brasilberg

The day and the program was concluded by a Gala Dinner to celebrate our participants, volunteers, tutors and partners, as well as ASI and host teams who made it possible.
