The third Ettore Gadioli Wine Party, corresponding to the eighth consecutive edition of the Varenna's Wine Party series, took place in the then dry evening of June 13, 2023, back to the beautiful Villa Monastero's garden, few meters from the Como lake's water.
The Presidence of the Supreme Judging Commission (SJC) moved from the exquisite guide of Werner Richter to the enthusiastic commitment of Lembit Sihver, harmoniously sustained by the solid membership of Guillaume Blanchon, Marc Dupuis, Mike Herman, and Giuseppe Tagliente.
