Welcome everyone to 2021! It’s the first blog of the year and I think it’s best to start the year with some optimism. Everyone in some shape or form had a challenging 2020. We can only look forward and hope for the best. What better way to start to start the year than with our Italian Food, Wine and Travel group (#ItalianFWT) focusing on favorite Italian reds and whites.
I know for winelovers it’s hard to just pick one favorite so this will be a challenge for many. With Italy having so many indigenous varietals grown throughout the country where do you even start. I know personally I have many favorites both reds and whites and if you’re a follower of my blog you already may have an idea of my selection. Any takers?
On January 2nd our Italian Food, Wine & Travel group of writers will be covering their personal favorite Italian red or whites wines from all over Italy along with some food pairing suggestions. We invite you to chat with us live on Twitter that morning at 11am EST at #ItalianFWT. If you’d like to join our group in writing a blog in reference to this month’s theme please email me directly at vinotravels at hotmail dot com. Hope to see you all there!
