Wine-tastings

Wow -- just popped into the Italian wine-tasting room (204-B). There were about 65 people inside in line to imbibe and another 40 waiting outside. Mood was festive. Here's Leslie Eames of Woodlyn, in Delaware County, who was ready to go eat dinner after sampling two reds and two whites (two sips each). The Chianti was so-so, but the pinot grigio she liked a lot. "I think the tastings are nice, especially when you've been on your feet all day," she said. Tastings are run by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board every day of the show from noon to 2 p.m. and 4 to 7 p.m. And no, I didn't try anything. I'm a working girl. Ciao.

About Virginia A. Smith
Ginny Smith, a Philadelphia native, worked as a reporter at newspapers in New York, Connecticut and Ohio – with six short months at the end of the Bulletin tossed in – before returning to Philadelphia in 1985 to join the Inquirer. Her favorite beats here have included Center City, roving around Pennsylvania (and getting paid for it!) and alternative medicine. She’s also been City Editor and Pennsylvania Editor. Ginny has been happily writing – and learning - about gardening fulltime since 2006. She’s won two silver medals of achievement from the national Garden Writers Association and in 2011, Bartram’s Garden honored her with its Green Exemplar award for her stories about “the region’s deeply rooted horticultural history, cultural attractions and bountiful gardens.”
