Host: David & Betty Gibson

April was a welcomed in-person event after 3 months of Zoom. The tasting featured 8 white, still, dry wines from Italy and Sicily. Excluded was the Alta Adige area which was excellently presented by Bob and Sandy Simoni at the March tasting.
It was also noted, with jubilant applause, that this April was Betty and David’s 44th wedding anniversary, as well as both of their birthdays. Here are the results of the tasting:
