The Italians Are Coming!

I’ve had the upcoming (and invitation only, mi dispiace) TRE BICCHIERI event on my calendar for weeks. While the event is only one evening, it also means Italian wine events will be all over town for the days preceding and following the tasting. For example, on Tuesday February 15th,…
