As we wrote in March, this year I became the global ambassador for the LG Signature Wine Cellar. As part of this partnership we created an animation with Monocle magazine, which you can see above, where I described how I entertain guests at my home in Italy, theming the evening by grape, country or wine style but also based on the mood or the tastes of people attending. It's fun and easy!
Watching the video, it makes me feel homesick for my house in Tuscany. Usually I live in Italy for at least a few months each year, but for obvious reasons I haven’t been able to travel there this year and it’s the first time since 1992 I haven’t spent the summer in Italy.
I miss my time there, not to mention the wines, beautiful vineyards, and winemakers. But I am tasting thousands of Italian wines at the moment at our wine bar in Hong Kong!
I think many of us are dreaming of Italy and the rest of Europe right now. So to make up for it, we are publishing a full four weeks of content around Italian wines and culture on JamesSuckling.com. Our content will cover big lists of outstanding wines from various regions, as well as documentary films from Hollywood writer and filmmaker James Orr (Three Men and a Baby, Sister Act 2) about wines, vineyards and even pizza!
Here’s what we plan:
I hope to be able to travel back to Italy next year. In the meantime we hope you enjoy our month of special Italian content.
Ciao for now.
