The Week In Review

Welcome to all the Italian producers and other wineries who have made the long trek to British Columbia to attend the 45th Vancouver International Wine Festival.

We have several articles that will help you navigate the International Tasting Room with scores of Italian wine reviews, and Italy is Having a Moment from the GOW team. Allison Spurrell talks about Asiago DOP cheese with some critical thoughts on authenticity. We have also collated our Italian videos for easy access and a quick refresher, Italian Wine Prep, on the land of vineyards. Finally, we are trying to melt the deep freeze paralyzing some in BC Wine country. Look for new reviews daily and sign up for our monthly newsletter to know what is coming next in wine. Ciao, and see you in the tasting room. AG
