First of all, THANK YOU to everyone who came by the Lini 910 stand at Vinitaly in Verona last week!
It was a great fair and it was great to be back in-person. And it was wonderful to see so many good friends whom we haven’t been able to hug in WAY too long!
In other BIG news, Alicia has a new Instagram: @inmylambruscoshoes.
Please visit her new feed for photos from Lini 910’s Vinitaly. And please follow! We’re so excited to see more of Alicia and her travels on social media.
Today’s #CanadaLove shout-out goes out to City Cellars in Edmonton, Alberta.
Not only do they keep the good wine flowing. But they also advocate for great causes.
Today, they are offering a discount on “pink drinks” to raise awareness of Pink Shirt Day, an anti-bullying campaign.
Here at Lini 910, we love pink wine. And we can’t think of a better way to put wine to work for a worthy cause.
Thank you City Cellars for your support of our wines. And thank you for what you do for our community.
Last year the Calgary Co-Op celebrated 65 years of serving its community.
“It is very, very important to focus on financial sustainability,” said Co-Op CEO Ken Keelor in an interview published in December. “You can have all the heart and wonderful culture and all of that stuff, but if you are not financially sustainable you’re done. You can’t serve your community. You can’t serve anyone. I think where a lot of companies, especially those that are sort of much more socially focused like we are, can lose their focus is where the management team, leadership and board, lose track of the fact that you have to be financially sustainable.”
The Co-Op has more than 440,000 members and 30 wine, spirits, and beer locations.
We couldn’t be more proud to be part of this amazing community! Thank you Calgary Co-Op for your support!
“Ever find yourself wandering aimlessly among bottles of chardonnay and pinot noir at the liquor store,” ask the editors of the Oak and Vine wine shop in Calgary, Alberta, “wondering what to buy? Instead of organizing wines by region, Oak & Vine organizes our hand-picked wine selection by flavour and uses a colour-coded system to categorize bold, juicy, smooth, sweet, bubbles, mellow and crisp wines. Categorizing wine by flavour helps everyone from the newbie wine drinker, to the seasoned oenophile, take home a wine in their flavour wheelhouse.”
It’s a totally unique and innovative way to help people connect with the wines that we love.
And we couldn’t be more proud to be part of their amazing program.
Thank you Oak and Vine for your support of Lini wines! And THANK YOU for changing the way we understand wine! Your shop is super cool!
Canada love month continues with a warm shout-out to Willow Park Wines & Spirits in Calgary, Alberta.
Not only are they an independent wine and spirits retailer. But they are also constantly giving back to and supporting their community through their “Vintage Fund.”
It’s a really cool shop with a wonderful staff that really knows it stuff.
Thank you Willow Park for supporting Lini wines! And thank you for all you do for our community!
That’s Pablo, our favorite wine shop dog!
He spends his days at the 17th Avenue Liquor Boutique in Calgary (Alberta, Canada).
And he’s a big supporter of Lini 910!
Thank you 17th Ave. Liquor Boutique for sharing our wines with your city. We love you guys! Please say hello to Pablo for us!

Last night Alicia hosted more than 50 guests at a sold out wine dinner at Roma restaurant in Houston.
Many local wine luminaries were in attendance, including Houston Chronicle wine writer, Dale Robertson “the Sporty Wine Guy” and many notable collectors.
It was a wonderful night to be in Texas! Heartfelt thanks to Roma owner Shanon Scott for inviting us to present our wines. What a fantastic event!
Join Vinitaly International director Stevie Kim, leading wine communicator Susannah Gold, and Alicia for a chat in Stevie’s Clubhouse “Ambassador’s Corner” this Friday, 9/24, at 8 p.m CET/2 p.m. EST.
Don’t miss this opportunity to interact with three of Italian wine’s leading professionals. Look for Stevie’s “Ambassador’s Corner” on Clubhouse.
We were thrilled to see the Lini family and the wines of Lini 910 featured on a fantastic Lambrusco-centric post by leading American wine blogger Susannah Gold, one of top experts on Italian wine in the country.
Her blog, Avvinare, is a great resource for Italian wine education.
We love how she talked about Lambrusco in cultural, historic, and gastronomic contexts. That’s the type of wine writing, in our humble opinion, that gives readers a broader perspective on the wine — and even more reason to enjoy it!
Brava Susannah! Grazie per il post bellissimo!
Click here for her wonderful post.
We couldn’t be more thrilled that Alicia will be virtually presenting a flight of her wines this Friday, May 28, at 5 p.m. PST.
The event will be hosted by the Wine Country in Long Beach, California, where sparkling wine expert Samantha Dugan who runs one of the best bubbly programs in the country.
Guests in Long Beach can purchase and pick up the wines for the event at the store. But all are welcome for this Zoom call.
Please send an email to our blog runner Jeremy, who will also be speaking about Alicia’s wines, if you would like to get the link.
We hope to “see” you then! Thanks for the support!
