Ep. 23 Cheers! An Expert Sommelier Takes Us on An Audio Wine Tour of Italy

The Ron Greenwald Show

Italy means history, culture…and wine. Join expert sommelier John Penate for an audio tour of what Italian wine has to offer by region, type and taste.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Their history informs their culture, which informs their wine. And it does so deliciously.

In this episode, Master Taster Sommelier John Penate takes us on an audio wine tour of Italy as he chronicles his adventures there, and his love for all things Italian. He gives us the inside story of the Italian Association of Sommeliers, the world’s first and oldest sommelier school. And he answers many of our burning wine-related questions: how far back do Italian winemaking traditions go? In some cases, 800 or 1,000 years. Can you have wine at a business lunch? Yes, in Italy, it's expected. Should you choose your dinner wine based on its drinking taste or its acidy? Acidy - acidic wine is good for pairing with food…very good. You’ll learn all of this and more, as John’s passion and enthusiasm are contagious. A delicious episode. Cheers!
