It’s the thing I enjoy most about my career in wine: sharing the joy of our work with like-minded souls.

Next week, my client Amistà will be hosting me at their Country House agriturismo Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday (April 10-12) in the heart of the Nizza DOCG.

The pad lies right on the Bricco di Nizza, one of the best crus in the appellation. Check it out here. It’s badass!

I’ll just be chilling and hanging out, pouring wine for anyone who wants to stop by and chat and taste. If you’re on your way to Langhe before the fair, you’ll literally drive right by. Stop and see me for a glass or a bite. There will even be a guitar hanging around.

On Sunday and Monday of next week (April 14-15), you’ll find me at Vinitaly, the mega trade fair in Verona.

Ping me and let’s taste. I’ll definitely be spending a lot of time in the Abruzzo pavilion on both days. Hit me up!

But then wait, there’s more!

Dallas, Monday, April 29: I’ll be tasting (although not pouring) at Gambero Rosso.

Houston, Tuesday, Apri 30: I’ll be leading an Abruzzo seminar in my adoptive hometown. I’ve been developing this presentation since I first did it at Texsom last summer. I think people will find it compelling.

Atlanta, Thursday, May 2: I’ll be hosting/leading an Abruzzo dinner in one of my favorite cites in the U.S. Can’t wait to get back there.

Los Angeles, Wednesday, May 15: I’ll be leading a Sicilian wine dinner at Rossoblu with my friend (since junior year abroad) Chef Steve Samson.

There are other dates on the horizon and I’ll share them when they come into focus.

In the meantime, I hope I get to connect with you in coming months. Thank you, as always, for the support.

See you on the other side next week!
