Last week, we partnered with the National Italian American Foundation to get to the root of the question on everyone’s mind – Italy or California?

And thus the Wine Off Tasting Competition commenced, held on on Capitol Hill in conjunction with the new Italian American Congressional Staff Association.

Of course, it was all in good sport. We offered the Tabarrini Adarmando Bianco dell’Umbria for the white wine, and the Tabarrini Sagrantino as our red offering, two very different tastes of Italy from one of our favorite producers in Umbria.

Politics, wine, and Italy. It was a pleasant combination.
