Exciting Pictures from Vinitaly!
I just got back my roll of film from the CVS Pharmacy in my neighborhood. Here are some of the exciting pictures.
Over 4,000 wineries exhibit at the fabled Vinitaly. Pictured below are some the tasters from all over the world who flock to this event to taste some of the greatest wines in the world today:
One of the most visited spots at Vinitaly was the booth from Cantina Tollo, the fabled producer from Abruzzo:
The Cantina explains its mission well in its promotional literature:
Offering up a wine to the market is a way of communicating one’s own way of being and philosophy, and of transmitting an ancient culture through aromas, emotions and memories....Each bottle does not contain only wine, but thousands upon thousands of caresses, changing moods and frames of mind, the passing of the seasons, a year’s work and the patient wait for the final outcome.
Our group not only visited fabled Vinitaly, but we also toured around Italy visiting the vignerons we work with and looking for new vignerons to import.
There were many traffic jams and many twisting roads, but happily our car was equipped with a modern GPS system.
Pictured below are Michael Rhodes and Kris Hilton of Triage Wines from Portland and Seattle as they enjoy the beautiful Italian scenery, cuisine and wine:
