Avvinare is a blog by Susannah Gold, a wine writer, publicist and certified Italian sommelier. This blog started as a way to stay connected to all things Italian, after having left il bel paese.
Avvinare is an Italian word which means to rinse your glass and prepare it to receive wine. This blog will hopefully allow you to swirl something new into your cup of knowledge, quench your thirst for a few more things Italian and learn something about the wonderful women in the wine business, both Italian and others. Comments on wines that are not Italian, wine bars and stores, restaurants and my adventures in winemaking and tango may be added. Once in a while, I get off track…
Look for posts on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Hi Susannah,
what a great blog you have created. Welcome to the club.
I got married in Italy and ever since my wife Margit and I, we are aficionados of this great country. I love your stories. Keep on blogging.
Yours

Ciao Susannah,
I was with you in Liguria, during the pleasant sailing boat week-end. In addition to what you wrote about the Vermentino, might I suggest to test the rare red version, less known than the white one but much more appreciated.
I “worship” your blog
Regards.

Hello Susannah,
Just wanted to say I had a great time at the Gianni Brunelli wine tasting last night at Napa. Please tell Laura that is was a great pleasure to meet her and that I would love to visit her winery one day.

Hi, I would like you to take a look at my blog. I started it about 2 months ago. It is full of happenings around the Naple Italy area. Please let me know what you think.

Great Blog! I have been trying to locate a Pinot from the Northern Region of Italy–Mason Manincor. I enjoyed a bottle at my favorite resturant in the Design District of Miami–Fratelli Lyon, but cannot find it in any fine wine shop in Miami. Do you know anything about this wine and the winery?
