Italian Women Who Rock the Wine World
 
June 3: Join NOIAW Greater New York Region for an educational tasting workshop designed to empower women with the tools to appreciate not just the taste of fine wines, but also the deep cultural heritage, history, and traditions of Italian winemaking. This special series will spotlight the lesser-known wine-producing regions of Southern and Central Italy — and promote the discovery of Italy’s diverse and storied viticultural landscape beyond Tuscany. Each wine will be thoughtfully paired with a regional Italian cheese, introducing guests to Italy’s extraordinary, often lesser-known cheese varieties, and teaching the art of pairing food and wine to enhance both flavor and cultural appreciation. The workshop will be led by JoAnn LoGiurato, a distinguished wine expert with multiple degrees in wine education.
