Italian Wine Week, Vino 2010, Comes To NYC

Next week, numerous wine producers, importers and journalists will arrive in New York for a week of activities dedicated to the trade loosely called Italian wine week. This is the second annual Italian wine week. The four day event will be chock full of seminars, lunches and dinners where Italian wines will be discussed, dissected and thankfully tasted.

While these events are not open to the public, one event where consumers can participate is Luca Maroni’s Sensofwine at Cipriani 42nd Street. For tickets to the event, please go to the Alta Cucina Store.

Another event that will take place next week that is open to all New York is the SHOP & DINE VINO 2010. Wines from Apulia, Calabria, Tuscany, and the Veneto will be showcased at selected restaurants and wine shops. This promotion starts today, January 28 and goes to February 10. A number of wine shops will also be having educational seminars.

It promises to be an exciting and fun filled week with rivers of Italian wine. That sounds especially appealing on this snowy day in New York City.
