The last wine discovery from this year's Fancy Food Show in DC was an Italian gem in Puglia, Tenute Girolamo. They were the perfect find as I was hosting #Winechat the following evening on Puglia, the heel of Italy's boot and one of my favorite wine regions. Tenute Girolamo is located in the Valle d'Itria between the [...]

The second rosé I grabbed off the wine rack for this week's last summer beach trip was from our June trip to Puglia, Italy (Italy's largest wine producer). I was so impressed with Puglia's wines, especially their rosés made from local varietals like Primitivo and Negroamaro.
