On Monday and Tuesday of this week (September 21-22, 2020), the Italy-America Chamber of Commerce South Central held its first-ever virtual Taste of Italy trade tasting in cities across Texas. Participating winemakers and food producers were asked to ship samples to the U.S. earlier this year.

Texas-based food and wine professionals and food and wine-focused media used a new virtual platform scheduling tool create specially for the event by IACC partner GrapeIn. The IACC then distributed the products among trade members and influencers in Houston (where the chamber’s offices are located), San Antonio, Austin, and Dallas.
