Daniele Cernilli is one of Italy’s most renowned wine and food writers.  I have huge respect for his tasting ability, verbiage and insights.  If you wish to learn more about Italian wine, I believe it's imperative that it comes from someone whose life and whose passion have been in pursuit of that subject. With Daniele, you get a lifetime of insight across the breadth of the Italian peninsula.

This June, Daniele Cernilli and representatives from 8 of his favorite producers are visiting a select few destinations in California for a tour celebrating the 2018 Edition of his guide, and showcasing a selection of this year's favorite wines. We are thrilled to welcome his return to San Francisco Wine School. This year is looking to be every bit as fun and informative as the last! Please join us as we host DoctorWine's only Bay Area appearance.
