On December 21st, 2013, Pierluigi Giachi of Tenuta Torciano San Gimignano brought a taste of Tuscany to the Pacific, hosting a wine class right on the sand in Newport Beach, California.


On the table

Oil and wine tasting

Guests tasted Terrestre Luxury Wine, Brunello di Montalcino, Chianti Classico and Vernaccia di San Gimignano, alongside an olive oil tasting, with the Newport Beach pier glowing at sunset in the background.

Special thanks

To Larry Hall, for hosting this Tuscan evening in Newport Beach.

Another stop on the road, another glass of San Gimignano poured far from home.
