Scion of the legendary winemaking family from Piedmont, Giovanni Gaja (above) is just one of the boldface winemakers whom I’ll be presenting next Monday here in Houston at the Grand Marchi (Top Estates) tasting.

Piero Mastroberardino, Alessia Antinori, Maurizio Zanella, Alberto Tasca, Alois Lageder, Alberto Chiarlo… And those are just some of the a-listers who will be there. It’s a true hit parade of Italian wine.

So if you’ve ever been curious about tasting Sassicaia from Tenuta San Guido, Barbaresco and Brunello by Gaja, Chardonnay by Jermann (one of my personal faves), Taurasi by Mastroberardino etc., this is a great opportunity to dive in.

I’ll be leading a guided tasting in the morning, followed by a walk-around tasting where the estates will be presenting a broad selection of their wines.

I hope to see you next Monday in Houston and thanks for your support!
