Just a quick note about some wine tasting that will take place in the New York area:
Lucio Caputo’s Gala Italia will be held on February 25 at the Marriott Marquis, as always. Last year I tasted some wines I really enjoyed including a few from Sicily that knocked my socks off.
On March 1, Alta Cucina will be holding a trade only tasting of a variety of wines offered by Wine Dreamers. I will most certainly be there, not least to say hello to my friends at Livon, a great winery from Friuli. I brought their delicious Braide Alte wine to the Diploma dinner this year.
On March 4, another friend has worked with the city of Dijon to organize a tasting of wines from Burgundy. The event is part of a larger event sponsored by the city of Dijon that will take place at Grand Central Station on March 3. I love Dijon and lived there for 8 months during my University days. Some day if you ply me with wine I will tell you about my 250 euro taxi drive to Dijon from Lyon…..
In the meantime, hope to see some of you out and about at these events.
250 Euro taxi trip – wow – isn’t there a train between those two cities? This must be a fascinating story!
