I would love to hear from those of you who attended the Tre Bicchieri on March 5th. How do you feel about the amount of wines and producers who attended this event? What is your opinion of the wines presented….

  How do you feel about opening the event up to the public?

~followed by quickly intoxicated public…

 The pros could heavily outweigh the cons:

~The restaurants and retailers won't be the only ones responsible for educating/marketing the Italian wines in California

~There is an opportunity for the consumer to be educated by the producers themselves and become impassioned through a more direct source. Many consumers want to know 'the story 'and connect to the person who is part of the story, just as sommeliers and wine experts do. The more connected we feel, the more open we are.

~This is an opportunity to hear what consumers have to say about the wines without being influenced by restauranteurs.
