I happily confess a love of the moscato wines of Asti so I’m particularly happy to announce a high level trade tasting featuring a number of top producers from there joining us in person at the Miami Culinary Institute. Details are right here.
I am passionate about the enormous variety of wines produced in Italy’s 20 vibrant regions, regions I’ll be discussing and touring with you at a tasting presented by the Italian Trade Agency on March 20. This is a great tour of the country from top to bottom with a lot of great wine along the way and followed by dinner. Open to the wine and hospitality trade only, and registration is required.

Often viewed with trepidation, pairing wine with food (or food with wine if you prefer) is easier and more fun than you might expect. Join Lyn for this afternoon masterclass with 10 classic wines, some intriguing food options and a Champagne happy hour at the end of the day. You’ll have a great time see combinations that work and some that are less successful (but it will all be delicious). There’s no pressure (because there is no exam!) and we’re sure too have a great group of people joining in the fun.
We’ve got a terrific Champagne and Cheese Pairing coming up on October 15 - I’ll join Champagne Ambassador Elise Cordell for a fun time with three wines, three cheeses and great discussion. We’re eager to share!
Italian Genio is Italian Genius - a quality we see in everything from fashion to architecture and design and, of course, exquisite food and wine. I’ll be presenting a seminar on Prosecco DOC and Italian Genio during a series of Italian wine presentations at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas. Click for more details

Join Lyn for a dazzling tasting featuring one of the most respected of all the grower-producers in Champagne, Egly-Ouriet. We'll taste a still pinot noir and then five sparkling wines that take pinot and chardonnay to a new level of refinement.
