Hi, and Welcome back to VINO2011NY here at the
Waldorf-Astoria in New York City. I’ve been so busy Tweeting (on Twitter search
#virtualvino) and streaming interviews with winemakers, trade
authorities and wine celebrities here for the past two days, I’m afraid I let
this blog get away from me!

We’re counting down to VINO 2011, and as the official blogger for this event, I’m thrilled for the broad range of seminars, mixers and tasting opportunities I’ll be covering. Attendees will be treated to a sprawling Grand Tasting of wines, experiencing the myriad regions and styles that our more than 300 participating producers have to offer. They’ll mingle while sampling Italy’s unparalleled spirits--experiencing their broad applications in the modern cocktail revival--in “The Spirit of Italy” After-Hours Lounge. But amongst the fun, the seminars offered will mean serious business.
