Throwback to working hard (or hardly working) at Vinitaly 2017 with “The Boss”

Throwback to working hard (or hardly working) at Vinitaly 2017 with “The Boss”


It may not be a surprise that I spent my time at Vinitaly in the Piemonte section. Many of my friends were there presenting their wines, including of course Giovanni Corino. Their labels were recently “updated” and as you can see they were on display at the fair. As I have tasted all their wines many times before, my stop there was mostly to say hello.

Also displayed at the fair was their new brochure. A beautiful collection of photos and of course information about their wines! You can read more about their winery here.

.. that Alessandro Veglio’s wines will soon be available at Vinmonopolet! Stay tuned!

Ok. I am not sure where to start. This may be the most insane wine event I have ever attended. There is just miles and miles of wine. I spent 5 hours there and I didn’t even get to see all the wineries in the Piemonte hall that I wanted to see. For the first 30 minutes I just wandered around, trying to get a lay of the land. If I go another time I will definitely do some more research and plan ahead. I would also like to stay more then 1 day, as 1 day is definitely not enough. Below are a few (of the many) pictures I snapped of the day.
