On Friday May 19th there was a grand tasting of Terre del Principe wines hosted by Manuela Piancastelli, Peppe Mancini, Vias Imports and Krokidas & Bluestein. The tasting was held at Krokidas & Bluestein’s offices located in the Federal Reserve Building; featuring panoramic views of the Boston skyline. We welcomed Nicola De Santis, General Consul of the Italian Consulate Office, as a special guest. Here are photo highlights of the event:
