Suzanne Branciforte's Italian Grapevine

Back in Verona for two days of conferencing about wine, trends in the market, marketing, Italian wine… It is the Wine2Wine sponsored by VeronaFiere and Vinitaly, an event for people in the field.

Sorry if the photos aren’t sexy, this is serious business! It’s post-vendemmia, let’s-get-down-to-business planning, strategising, networking.

There isn’t even that much tasting going on…

Socializing, yes, tasting, no.

Stevie Kim and Ian D’Agata seem to have cloned themselves – they are everywhere, presenting, talking, introducing, planning.

This just out: a new, important recognition for wines which will be introduced at the next Vinitaly (which will be the 50th anniversary edition!): 5 Star Wines.
