These groups provide actionable insights and recommendations from those who spend their days in the thick of it.

Cantina Frentana. When most wine lovers think of Italy, red wine like Nebbiolo and Sangiovese typically come to mind. Yet the red Montepulciano grape is king in Abruzzo, a charming mountainous region bordered by the Adriatic sea. Historically – and even today – much of the wine is produced by cooperatives. In 1964, Emidio Pepe helped put Abruzzo on the quality map what may be called his “Burgundian” approach to terrior, low yields, and gentle pressing.

If you are a restaurant owner, you will know that a menu is a restaurant’s heart and soul. It is one of the touchpoints through which customers interact with your restaurant, and based on their perception, decide whether or not they want to dine there. Although the look and feel of a menu may attract customers, it is much more than that. A smartly designed restaurant menu can result in high profits as it can influence customers’ choices and tempt them to order more.
