VIDEO: my tariffs interview with Sapori del Piemonte (in Italian).

“It was an emotional interview,” wrote my longtime friend and colleague Filippo Larganà (above), editor of the widely read Sapori del Piemonte blog.

My heartfelt thanks goes out to him for letting me appear on his vlog series about Vinitaly, our industry’s biggest annual fair, which closes today in Verona.

At nearly every meeting during the fair, the first question from my Italian colleagues was “what’s going to happen with the tariffs???!!!”

I’m no expert on economics but I was happy to share my reading of the moment. Please see the video below (in Italian).

Thank you, Filippo!

I have lots to tell about my time on the ground in Italy this week. I’m on my way back stateside right now but I hope to get a solid post up tomorrow. Thanks for being here and thanks for supporting Italian wine. #ItalianWineStrong
