Organized by the Italian American Chamber of Commerce West - whose mission is to provide the business community with services, assistance, and networking opportunities -, the 4th edition of the initiative Vino California – Celebrating Italian Wine on the West Coast was held on May 14, 2014, in the historical Valentino restaurant in Santa Monica.
Italy is among the major wine-producing and exporting countries in the world, boasting over 2000 native grapes, each of them deeply rooted in the regional territory and wine-making tradition that inevitably affect taste. With a 30% market share, Italian wine continues to be a best seller in the U.S. market, which is the largest and one of the fastest growing in the world in terms of both consumption and production.
