nd Street.
Organized in collaboration with the New York-based wine and food society, Alta Cucina, the SensofWine NYC event will showcase over 100 wineries. The walk-around wine tasting will open at 3pm with two hours dedicated for the press and trade.
The general public will be invited to taste from 5 to 9 pm. More than 500 wines, from the best Italian wine producers will be featured (check

SensofWine was most recently held in Rome on November 29 and 30. Over 15,000 consumers attended the tasting of over 1,000 wines from more than 300 wineries. This was the 4th year that Maroni hosted his 2-day SensofWine event in Rome. “After four years of positive feed back and terrific turn out, I thought that the time was right to bring SensofWine on the road. The obvious first stop was New York City as New York is one of the most important cities for Italian wines outside of Italy,” says Maroni.
Maroni’s professional wine expertise ranges from evaluating wines (using his famed wine evaluating method), writing numerous books and articles on wines and wine tasting, and hosting wines tasting events for the wine-loving public. Luca Maroni is a wine institute in Italy and he hopes to win over the American palate.
SensOfWine NYC is a Free Wine Tasting but it is by invitation only. To request an invitation please send an e-mail to
