About Me / Contact. It's all about the vine…discovering the artisan growers of Italy….with lots and lots of sherry along the way. Italian Wine In The White House. May 1, 2015. One hopes that the bottles of Sassicaia, Ornellaia, Tignanello and Mastrojanni Brunello that Italian PM, Matteo Renzi, brought as gifts to Barrack Obama on a recent trade visit won’t suffer a similar fate.
