Clean is simply a marketing term and not an indication of quality. Please don’t fall for it.

"‘Clean wine’ is a ‘misleading’ term and should not be used by brands, US federal government says"

The US federal government is warning brands against using the phrase 'clean wine' on labels or in advertising.

Would you like to become an Italian Wine Ambassador? 🥂🍷🇮🇹 Join us!

Next up is the 18th edition of the Italian Wine Ambassador course, which will be marked by a return to Verona 🇮🇹 for another flagship edition. This new flagship course will be the first to utilize an agile format with the online theory classes continuing, but students coming together in Verona to be led by Faculty members, Sarah Heller MW & Henry Davar IWE, through guided tastings and Q&A sessions ahead of the exam.

Later in 2021, VIA will return to offer courses in the USA 🇺🇸. Previously these have had to be limited to particular cities, but now thanks to a reformatted agile course, applications can be accepted from all over the country, broadening the scope like never before and offering opportunities to more students than ever. Reformatted to be more agile, VIA USA will combine the online on-demand theory sessions with in-person tastings proposed for July at Tasting Centers across the United States.

This newly reformatted course truly shows VIA at its best!

A wonderful article on why you should try more Italian wines 🇮🇹🥂🍷
It’s ok to not know the region or grape variety, perhaps you’ll discover something amazing! 😊

MW Sarah Heller says appreciation of Italian wines should no longer be based on Bordeaux or Burgundy in her column for Club Oenologique.

I’m so excited to find wines made with native Italian 🇮🇹 grape varieties here in the US. Ribolla Gialla and Schioppettino are two of my favorite varieties 🍇 from the northeast region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Savoring these wines takes me back to my travels to Italy over the past several years.
I miss traveling and all the new and exciting experiences that come with it. ✈️🛳
We’ll travel again, just not now. In the mean time, stay safe, enjoy wine and life at home! 🥂🍷🏠

I’ve always preferred newly-constructed homes over old & previously-owned ones. Hmm.. perhaps this will change my mind? 🤪🍾🥂🍷🥃
You never know what kind of treasures you’ll find!!!

Drummond posted pictures on social media of packages containing bottles of whisky that he found when removing some of the wooden exterior panels of his house. He later found more whisky secreted beneath the floorboards of his mudroom.
