Wine for thought at the Masters of Wine Symposium in Florence

For four days in mid-May, the heart of the wine world was beating fast in Florence, where 450 delegates gathered for the 8th Symposium of the Institute of Masters of Wine.

The Symposium brought together a wide audience with more than 125 Μasters of Wine and included many opinion leaders, sommeliers, wine merchants, wine-writers and other influential figures of the wine-industry. A great community indeed, focusing on sharing thoughts, opinions, and all wine-related experience for the present and future of wine through fascinating sessions and detailed tastings. No need to mention that quite a few hidden gems or more classic wine-staff both from the Italian and the international scene were presented in extensive tastings.
