At the beginning of December, the Bailliage’s Ordre Mondial des Gourmet Dégustateurs (OMGD) enjoyed an Italian themed dinner with the finest of Italian wines.

The wines of Barone Ricasoli, the second oldest winery in the world, were especially featured. The fortunate members and friends who signed up early for the exclusive dinner were delighted as with limited availability it was a sell-out event.
