More about the Co-Moderator - Sheila Donohue VeroVino Founder, CEO, and Sommelier I'm a New Yorker living in Italy for 20 years. After becoming a sommelier and getting to know hundreds of smaller producers with great tasting authentic products, but mainly unknown in the US, I decided to start 'spreading the love' by importing in these hidden gems with the company I started, VeroVino, which sells to businesses and consumers across the US. We target ‘engaged explorers’, those who want to explore and taste ‘undiscovered’ wines and foods made by farmer-artisans.

Before starting his adventure as a wine producer, he studied and graduated in accounting. After a short time, he realized that that job is not for him and decided to change his life. Before embarking on the path that will lead him to the production of wines, he decides to go and work for a couple of years in some wineries in the area, including Domenico Clerico, to learn the "secrets" for producing excellent wines. Subsequently in 2004 he decided to start his own adventure and began to make wine from the grapes of his family business and to produce the typical wines of the area: dolcetto, barbera and nebbiolo. Aldo Clerico does not define himself as a wine producer but first of all he is a farmer who loves his work and the vineyard because the most important part in the production cycle is done with great care and attention To learn more visit: Instagram clericoaldo Website https://www.aldoclerico.it More about the moderator Stevie Kim: Stevie hosts Clubhouse sessions each week (visit Italian Wine Club & Wine Business on Clubhouse), these recorded sessions are then released on the podcast to immortalize them!
