This week I'm in San Diego attending the Fancy Foods
Show and meeting lots of people who are passionate
about food!. Last night I was invited to a press and
media dinner by the Confagricoltura Lombardia for a
focused tasting of three ages of DOP Grana Padano
and wines from Franciacorta. I sat with the San Diego
Slow Food Representatives, Dominick Fiume and
Donna McLoughlin, various local food writers and
Gourmet News Editor, Anna Wolfe who introduced me
to the guest speaker, Mr. DiPaolo from the famed
cheese shop in New York's Little Italy! He in turn
introduced me to Andrea Berti from Atlanta Corp. on
the East coast. Andrea is the premier importer of
Italian Cheeses in America! It was a joy to talk with
her about her early days in developing her business.
Her passion for the producers and their products is still
alive and electric and I will be meeting with
representatives of Atlanta to see if we can partner with
them and bring some of their magic to Pellston!
