VinoWeek - Episode 75 - Reflections on Gambero Rosso and Slow Wine

Vino101

As we head into springtime this year more wine and food events are returning to the our calendars. On this podcast Bill and I discuss our recent experiences at the Gambero Rosso and Slow Wine events both held in San Francisco. The Gambero Rosso was held at Fort Mason in the Marina District. The Slow Wine event was held at City View at Metreon in the Financial District. The Gambero Rosso publishes a guide that rates Italian wines using independent experts who blind taste submitted samples. The Slow Wine approach is different as they have ambassadors visit the wineries to not only taste the wines but to learn the agricultural methods the producers use and the cellar practices. The wines may be viewed through different lenses but the results are the same; the wine quality at both shows is always very high.

We also discuss the recent Silicon Valley Bank meltdown and how it has disrupted business for wineries in California.

Bill and I discuss these items and more in this week's addition of VinoWeek. Thanks to everyone for listening. Cheers!
