Intro to the Wines of Friuli

With Italian wine expert, Jeremy Parzen, Ph.D., journalist, wine educator, and author of DoBianchi.com.

There are more Friulian wines available in the state of Texas than ever before and it's high time! The wonderful, refreshing, and food-friendly white wines from Friuli — made from native grapes like Tocai Friulano and international varieties like Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay — are ideal for the hot Texas summer and the crawfish boils and Cajun seafood specialities that arrive this time of year.

Earlier this year, Dr. Parzen led a group of American wine bloggers to Friuli to taste and meet with local producers and he is widely viewed as one of the leading experts on this emerging fine wine region of Italy. During the seminar, he will also address the political motivations behind Hungary's legal action that forced the Friulians to change the name of their flagship white variety.

“Parzen is one of the most educated and thoughtful food and wine writers on the Internet and reading his blog always makes you examine your own thoughts on the topic. He makes you think and teaches in the process. I learn something new from each of his posts.”
