2023 has been my year of trying new-to-me grapes. In prep for the #ItalianFWT Puglia/Apulia event next weekend, I was introduced to SUSMANIELLO.

I brought it to our friends' house when they invited us to a smoked ribs dinner.

For the new-to-us #WinePW event this month, Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm shared a fantastic dining experience she had at the Firestarter Casino where she tried a Cortese/Gavi wine. I actually have a bottle on my shelf. Now I might just have to make a sea bass with risotto to go alongside.

Susannah Gold of Avvinare poured and paired a Vernaccia Nera for the #WinePW new-to-us grapes event.

So much fun to learn about this grape and the sparkling red wine she poured.

Today I hosted the #WinePW group as we explored new-to-us grapes. David Crowley of Cooking Chat, our group's founder, shared a white wine made from the Kydonitsa grape in his post: "A NEW GREEK WINE WITH TZATZIKI DIP"
