One of the items that tops my bucket list is to travel to Italy. I’ve had quite a few chances to go to Italy but all of them were going to be solo trips. Throughout the years, I saved a trip to Italy for when I had a special someone by my side to experience the beauty. Now that I’m married to my best friend, I cannot wait to go to Italy with him…whenever that may be.
To hold me over for now, I’m going to join Bertolli and expert sommelier Stacie Hunt on Wednesday, May 4 as she walks me, as well as many others, through a live video wine pairing and tasting. The event on Wednesday is great because we’ll be chatting about wine, food, and the pairing of the two…what’s not to love?
During the event, Stacie will walk us through steps of tasting and pairing and you’ll also get a full story of Italian wines — the complete ambiente. Those who are in attendance will be able to comment and ask questions. For the seasoned pros out there, they are welcome to chime in with their expert knowledge!
