On a beautiful fall day at Gorman Heritage Farm people from around Cincinnati came to taste delicious wine, coffee, and local food. To start the afternoon off, Matt Anthony, Slow Food Cincinnati's Board President, spoke to the crowd about what Slow Food Cincinnati is up to these days and what the Slow Food Movement is about.
Then Remo Belluci (pictured above), Terra Madre delegate from the Abruzzo region of Italy, shared with us his experience at Terra Madre and why Terra Madre and the Salone del Gusto is such an important event. In fact, it is the largest food event in the world.
Later in the evening I then shared with the group my trip to the Salone del Gusto - Terra Madre and International Congress. I also discussed Slow Food's policy document "Central Role of Food" which we will be having a world debate over while at the Congress. If you would like to see my presentation, click here.
We showcased the following wines:
Taste the different grapes:
- Quattro Mani - Montepulciano d'Abruzzo (from the region Remo grew up)- Benziger Family - Cabernet Sauvignon
