About this Event
What is the meaning of “Aperitivo Italiano”? An aperitivo (or apéritif) is often described as being similar to the American happy hour, but in reality, it’s much more than that. An Aperitivo is joyous and mood-lifting, it relaxes you after a day of work or prepares you for the night to come. Aperitivo, with its cheerful yet elegant nature, is a staple in Italy and has been getting more and more appreciated around the world.
Join us on June 28 at the Milford House to taste four great Italian wines from Piemonte accompanied by small bites Italian-style.
About the presenter:
Riccardo Guerrieri is an Italian wine lover and a certified sommelier from the Court of Master Sommelier. When he moved to Houston in 2013, he started a career as a wine importer selecting niche Italian wines, such as Sagrantino and Verdicchio, from the regions where he spent his youth.
In 2017, Riccardo decided to wind down his import company in order to move on to the retail wine business. He managed a wine bar in West University for more than five years with enthusiasm and passion, where he delved into wines from around the world.
Now, Riccardo is set to open his own business in the Memorial area named “VinSanto”.
It will be a shop, a bar and a small bistro that offers an authentic and high quality experience focused on wines, food and education. The new adventure for Riccardo will start in the fall of 2022. Stay tuned.
