From the department of “so much time and so little to do”…

The tasting season has just begun and I’ve got a ton of fun things lined up.

Top on my list is the two Abruzzo dinners I’ll be leading in Los Angeles at Rossoblu, my old stomping grounds.

Tuesday, October 15
Abruzzo Trade Dinner at Rossoblu
Downtown Los Angeles

I’ll be hosting an Abruzzo trade dinner. Please email me (here) if you’d like to attend. It’s open to ANYONE who works in the food and beverage industry. Chefs, servers, front of house… Anyone who would like to learn more about Abruzzo wines in a convivial setting.

Wednesday, October 16
Abruzzo food and wine lover dinner at Rossoblu
Downtown Los Angeles

The restaurant doesn’t have a registration link up yet but please save the date. This is open to anyone and costs just $140. These are super fun and the crowd is always amazing.

Monday, October 28
Do Bianchi Supper Club at Davanti
Houston

I’m super stoked about this new series that I will be doing with Oliver Calza and Chef Roberto Crescini at Davanti. I don’t have the theme for our first event but I can tell you that it will be limited to 12 persons. We’re planning to keep it moderately priced. Can’t wait for this! Email me (here) if you’d like me to hold a spot for you.

Thanks for your support and solidarity! Abruzzo and I need your tastebuds!

Other events to have on your radar…

I’m presenting an Abruzzo seminar for trade October 2 in Boston.

I won’t be in town for this but my buddy Jeff Porter is doing an Umbria event in Houston on October 8. Email him (here) to snag your spot. Jeff is an amazing presenter and wines look great.

I’ll be presenting at Taste of Italy in Dallas and El Paso, October 8 and October 10.

I just added an Abruzzo event in Denver on October 31.

And my vermouth event in Tulsa on November 18 has been confirmed.
