Dinner tonight for #WMC22 was held at Museo Rambot Dinner tonight for #WMC22 was held at Museo Rambotti where they have the Lavagnone plough, the oldest agricultural machine in the world. This dinner featured the wines of Lombardia as well as the delicious Grana Padano Cheese! The menu for dinner? The dishes just kept coming! It was delicious and a bit overwhelming! Never fear, I cleaned my dessert plate! We finished the day with a walk back to the hotel. Fresh air, clean and crisp from the rain. And good conversation were the perfect end to the day! @granapadano @museorambotti @zephyr_wine
A Snipet of some of Day 2 at the @zephyr_wine 2022 A Snipet of some of Day 2 at the @zephyr_wine 2022 Wine Media Conference Morning sessions included an overview of Lomabardia's wine regions, and a session on building authentic creator brands where I busily took notes and kot photos! Michael will share photos soon. On the white wines of Bordeaux! Then there was lunch sponsored by @cantine_bertani where Andre Lonardi shared with us some of their wines from Valpolicella. After lunch Stevie Kim of VinItaly and the Italian Wine Podcast, @italianwinepodcast gave a session on podcasting!! This was followed by a session on Valtellina! The white wine social followed (that with get another longer post, or reel, 9 wines from 9 wineries in a speed dating style! You will get a reel with each one soon! As well as some of our dinner excursion! The conference is so wonderful and packed full of great information and people! #wmc22 #ascovilo #Lombardia #ILoveItaly
Day 1 of the actual Wine Media Conference! We bega Day 1 of the actual Wine Media Conference! We began with a walk by the lake, (and a pair of new shoes!) Then it was on to the conference with a session on Consorzio del Sannio DOP with Laura Donadoni, followed by a session with Le Donne del Vino: women of wine and their stories with Christina Scarpellini of Tenuta Scerscé of Valtelina and the wonderful Francesca Pagnoncelli of Cantina Pagnoncelli Folcieri of Moscato di Scanzo! Michael tasted and filmed while I typed away with notes. (You will notice the headset for translation) Our last session on this 1/2 day was about independent winemakers! The panel included Davide Lazzari of Lazzari in Capriano del Colle, Alessio Brandolini of Azienda Agricola Brandolini in Oltrepò Pavese and Paolo Pasini who we met yesterday at Pasini San Giovanni! We wrapped the day up with a reception by Garda DOC & Piave DOP. With a range of delicious foods including some I would classify as "Tempting Spoonfuls!" A last look at the beautiful Lake Garda and we are calling it an early night. I managed to do my annual voice loss day (at least I don't have to call a show!) Hopefully a bit of extra rest will see it return tomorrow! I have so many people I want to catch up with! Here is to an amazing start to the 2022 Wine Media Conference! Thank you Allan and Sarah! #WMC22 #wineanditaly #lombardia #desenzanodelgarda
How do I express the exquisite beauty of this day How do I express the exquisite beauty of this day in just a few photos? We spent the day exploring and learning about Valtenèsi DOC on the western and southern shores of Lake Garda. Wait, have you not heard of Valtenesi? There is so much to know, but let us focus on one thing. Valtenesi means high quality rosé. When you think of rosé you should immediately think of Valtenesi and Provençe. The rosés are so expressive! This was a glorious day with beautiful art and gardens, wonderful people, delicious foods and amazing wines. Don't worry you will hear more soon! @consorziovaltenesi #valtenesirosé @fondazione_vittoriale @lechiusure @pasinisangiovanni @costaripa @camaiol @cobue_cantina_wineresort #winemediaconference #zephyrtours @zephyr_wine #Lombardi #LakeGarda #WMC22
