Ep. 1346 The Grignolino Consorzio | Italian Trade Agency Masterclass Wineries In Germany

Welcome to Episode 1346; part of our new Italian wine interview series set in Dusseldorf, Germany. Today Joy Livingston interviews some representatives of the Grignolino Consorzio (the Monferrato Casalese Consorzio)!

Stevie Kim and her team travelled to Dusseldorf, Germany this March to collaborate with ITA, the Italian Trade Agency. ITA was organizing some incredible Masterclasses featuring the best wines Italy has to offer. Each masterclass was led by the Master Sommelier Eros Teboni (awarded Best Sommelier Worldwide in 2018), and they wanted us there to document the amazing 3 days!

Tune-in each Thursday as we bring you the great interviews that unfolded over the course of 3 days.
