Italy Wine Expert Rates Romanian Wine
Posted Thursday, June 04, 2009 by John D Paul
An Italian sommelier, trained and certified in the study of wines, got his first taste of Romanian wine Thursday, thanks to our group. PierAlberto Merli runs Gustolab in Rome and the Leonardo di Vinci school. Both units study and teach about the culture surrounding food and drink. Merli rated the Romanian Merlot he tasted as “good” but lacking the power of an Italian wine. Merli is shown in the photo above with Journalism Professor Nancy Benson.
Merli travels to the US frequently to speak about food and wines and how they affect culture. He’s due to be in Champaign-Urbana in July.
