Welcome to this special edition where we talk wines and the Giro D’Italia. We held an exceptional ClubHouse Room dedicated to Giro d’Italia but…it was not recorded. I know, I know, Bummer. But anyway, we thought about sharing some notes about the first stage of the Giro - written and read by Marc Millon - a food, wine, and travel writer, and the author of numerous books as well as magazine articles published on both sides of the Atlantic. Since these bikers will also go through Verona, the city of Vinitaly, there will be more special episodes to come. Stay tuned!
