Moscato is a lovely and under-appreciated wine from Italy's Piedmont region - it's off-dry, often a little spritzy and nearly always a delightful drink. It has a more serious side that I look forward to exploring when I lead a masterclass featuring six very well-made moscatos and some fascinating food pairings. If you are in the wine trade, you are invited to attend - the the invitation below for details.
Benvenuto Brunello, an event held simultaneously in eight cities worldwide, was the debut of the storied 2019 vintage of Brunello di Montalcino, Tuscany’s classic, iconic and all-sangiovese wine. I was the presenter for one of the three American debut tastings, and have the story here.
