Official Blogger Anthony Giglio's Second Virtual Vino Blog

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.
