So, funny story… I was wearing this badge at the @winesofsicily #italianwine tasting yesterday, and was careless with a swirl, and the #wine went flying into my chest. Yet, YET!, the badge blocked 99% of the spray, and only a minuscule drop actually made it to my shirt. How’s that for good fortune?!? As for the #winetasting, ma dai, it was frustrating that there wasn’t a list of #wines to reference, so I could be more precise here… Nonetheless here are some of the #wineries / wines that stood out to me: Cantine Fina - Grillo, Grillo riserva, late harvest Grillo Cassarà - Grillo, Perricone Casa Grazia - Frappato, CdV, CdV riserva!, NdA Di Giovanna - Grillo, Grillo Riserva Musita - Frappato Tenute Navarra - Frappato, CdV

After the world's longest line of cheesesteaks was assembled at @phl_airport we had to come by and see what the hype was about... and not only are there cheesesteaks for days, there's tons more savor at the airport too!

Understanding how to take an overzealous menu and shrink it down to something more usable. Today looking at @adellowines . Key takeaways: Keep it to 5-10 choices Don’t use icons unless it is obvious *at a glance* what each one means and how it adds value Group similar choices Remove low traffic, low value links #wineindustry #dtcwine #winemarketing #wineecommerce #wineryowner #winerylife #winedirect #winerymarketing #winerybranding #wineclub #wineclubs #winerywebsite #winesales #digitalwine #winetech #winemarketers #wineshoponline #onlinesommelier #winebusiness #winemarketingstrategy #winerygrowth #wineloyalty #wineryevents #winebrand #winecommunity #winerymanager #directtowineconsumer #wineinfluencer #winemarketingtips #winelovers

Improving the winery reservation form, featuring @ehlersestate and @clinecellars Some tips on making it easier for prospective visitors to find a time to make a reservation. Takeaways: Ensure both key motivations are covered: 1) having a specific time in mind, and 2) browsing a period of time to see what’s available. Enable browsing without resubmitting a form every time Don’t make someone select a time of day - just show them all availability for that day #wineindustry #dtcwine #winemarketing #wineecommerce #wineryowner #winerylife #winedirect #winerymarketing #winerybranding #wineclub #wineclubs #winerywebsite #winesales #digitalwine #winetech #winemarketers #wineshoponline #onlinesommelier #winebusiness #winemarketingstrategy #winerygrowth #wineloyalty #wineryevents #winebrand #winecommunity #winerymanager #directtowineconsumer #wineinfluencer #winemarketingtips #winelovers

Professor Luca Zipoli’s class “Philadelphia the Global City: the Italian Legacy across Time” 🇮🇹 had so much fun with their “Inside the Italian Market” Food Tour 🥪 ! The tour was led by the legendary and South Philly native Chef Jacquie of @streatsofphillyfoodtours with the special participation of Mike Madaio @lifeattable , author of the book “A History of Philadelphia Sandwiches: Steaks, Hoagies, Iconic Eateries & More” 🌭. The tour included a cheese 🧀 tasting at the historic DiBruno Bros @dibrunobros , the tasting of two classic Philly-style 🇺🇸 sandwiches (a cheesesteak from Angelo’s @angelos_pizzeria_south_philly and a hoagie from Paesano’s @eatpaesanos ), and a dessert with delicious cannoli from the iconic Isgro’s Pastries @isgropastries . The itinerary offered the opportunity to reflect on the multifaceted legacies that Italian migrants and Italian-American communities left to Philadelphia’s rich and diverse culinary history. The event was co-sponsored by the Tri-Co Philly Program @tricophilly and Praxis @bmccivicengagement @brynmawrcollege @haverfordedu . #brynmawrcollege #haverfordcollege #tricophilly #theitalianmarket #italianmarket #italianmarketphilly #italianfood #italiancuisine #italianamericans #italianamerican #streatsofphilly #philadelphia #foodtour #experentiallearning #philly
