The Time and Date:
The Event: Winemakers and Terroir; in collaboration with Gigliola Trambusti Fine Italian Wines.
The Venue: Hart House, Univ of
The Target Audience: wine trade, agents.
The Availability/Catalogue: about half of the wines were already available from agents. But in essence, this was to be a show of Italian wineries looking for agents in
The Quote/Background: presumably some of the wines are available through the normal distribution systems, but most will be private orders. Prices were difficult to come by, so I just gave up.
The Wines: I did not try all the wines.
