Countdown to Vinitaly…. 14 days to go!!!

In just 14 days’ time, all the oenophiles in-the-know will descend on that Mecca of the grape, Verona! The city of Romeo and Juliet is the host to Italy’s great kermesse, VINITALY.

Last year, over 145,000 people attended the 4-day event that showcases Italian wine, but not only – spirits and international wines as well!
I’ve been going for years, and am always blown away by the elegance and style of the stands – it is truly Italy at its best!
This year, I’m in for the long haul – all four days! Sippin’ and sniffin’ my way through the Best of the Boot in the Bottle!

And I’ll be on location, live and reporting from Verona!
Wine-lovers of the world, unite!!
