This podcast takes us back a few months during the Simply Italian Tour Tasting in Chicago.  Tony Apostolakos of Masi Wines was not only pouring Amarone but also a few other tasty Italian delights. If you’ve listened to some of the many Italian wine podcasts we recorded during the second half of last year, you may only now be realizing just how much you’ve learned about their wines. Complicated? Maybe, but this education comes with great taste!

What exactly is “Vino Lingo”. Simple, wine terms as defined by the winemakers themselves.  These include common and not-so-common winery words, proprietary terms heard only at certain wineries and crazy made-up words that are used on certain situations. Vino Lingo. For several years we have dedicated a section of our website to these ‘magical’ terms and occasionally we put a years worth together for a podcast. Thus, this is Part Five of Vino Lingo. Enjoy!!
