Please consider giving to the Hue Society fund raiser to bring its members to Italy for Vinitaly next month. They are opening new chapters in Verona and here in Houston, where Tracie and I are hosting a party for their founder Tahiirah tomorrow. DM me for details.

The season for tasting is here!

Please join me next week and the following for the Abruzzo seminars I’ll be giving at three stops along the Slow Wine Tour in New York (3/19), Austin (3/21), and Denver (3/25). I’ll also be pouring Abruzzo throughout the walk-around tasting at each event and in Denver, there is still availability for an Abruzzo dinner that I am presenting that evening. See this link for registration info. DM me if you want to come to the dinner.

Just added: on Wednesday, March 27, I’ll be hosting a tasting for my client Amistà, producer of great Nizza, at Vinsanto on Houston’s westside. I don’t have details yet but it will be open and free to all. It’s going to be a great night and I’ll be hanging at the bar afterward. Details to follow please DM me if you’d like to attend.

On the horizon… The week leading up to Vinitaly, I’ll be staying at the Amistà farmhouse in Nizza April 10-12. If you are heading to Langhe before the fair or if you just want to check out the Bricco di Nizza (where some of Italy’s greatest wines are raised), please hit me up. I’ll just be hanging out and pouring vermouth and wine for anyone who wants to stop by.

And I’ll be at Vinitaly this year all four days. Let’s connect in Verona and TASTE!

That’s me, above, presenting a Prosecco seminar at Taste of Italy in Houston last month. I feel so blessed to get to do what I do for a living. Thanks to everyone for the support.
