Preview into the Wines of Orvieto

As we cross into these first few days of May it is time for our Italian Food, Wine and Travel group (#ItalianFWT), hosted by yours truly, to highlight the wines of Orvieto.  Many of the writers of this group have partnered with the Consorzio Tutela Vini Orvieto to sample a number of wines from the various terroirs to share with you.   

We welcome you to join us live to chat on Twitter at 11am EST with hashtag #ItalianFWT as we dig into the Orvieto DOC wine appellation, the wines and suggested pairings.  We look forward to sharing our knowledge and wines with you!
