Question: Know you again are involved at the upcoming International Wines Festival in Vancouver. What will be your most anticipated event to attend?
Answer: Yes, I am pumped to attend the upcoming 45th edition of vanwinefest.ca over 8 days from February 24 to March 3. I have been involved in #VIWF since day one we started in 1979 and have participated in all of them. Many exciting functions this year with 148 wineries (71 from theme country Italy & 27 from British Columbia) totalling 12 countries serving 1150 wines. Can’t really pick out just one event from 42 available at 25 venues including Festival extensive wine tastings at the Convention Centre with a spectacular view plus many restaurants matching outstanding food courses with wine. OK my greatest anticipation is for a vertical wine tasting of 8 consecutive vintages (2012-2019) of the exciting Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG from Sergio Zingarelli president of Rocca delle Macie with Italian wine expert moderator Filippo Bartolotta. Stay tuned for my Blog report on it here in March. Also hurry to check out attending an interesting educational event of your own choosing – though many are already sold out.
