The event at Liberty Grand Entertainment Complex will feature 46 of the Italian wineries which are part of the exclusive “Tre Bicchieri” club, meaning they each produce a wine which has earned Gambero Rosso’s highest rating in the latest Vini d’Italia guide. Guests may enjoy these top bottles at their very best, thanks to wine tools, corkscrews and spittoons from Pulltex. This unmissable tasting has been made possible thanks to the collaboration of the Consulate General of Italy and the Italian Trade Agency, as well as the Liquor Control Board of Ontario – which will bring members of the drinks trade -- and the Canadian Association of Professional Sommeliers (CAPS) Ontario. We will raise a glass with event media partners, CHIN Radio/TV and Vineroutes.
