For those in the industry, Vinitaly is an international wine event that can’t be missed. For decades it’s brought together wine professionals from all over the world, and after 50+ years of being held in Verona, Italy, it’s finally making its debut stateside, with the inaugural Vinitaly U.S. edition being held Oct. 20–21 in the Windy City.
On this episode of the “VinePair Podcast,” co-host Zach Geballe speaks with Chicago sommelier Derrick Westbrook and Molly Matelski, director of buyer relations, programming, and partnerships for Vinitaly USA about the first-ever American version of the iconic Italian wine festival, including what’s behind the move to bring it to America, why Chicago, and how it will differ from the version held in Verona.
