THE SOMM JOURNAL The CRU ARTISAN COLLEGE is an ambitious three- city tour of Italian winemakers and educators; each city offers a full day's learning experience focusing on the intricate aspects of Italian wine regions. Plugging into the past three years of success, in 2017 Cru Artisan College will join forces with the Wine Scholar Guild to amplify this already extraordinary, immersive curriculum. Maurizio Broggi, DWS, FWS, and Wine Scholar Guild's Director of Education for Italy will serve as headmaster for the entire tour's fourth year. This intimate, unique education will also include tasting through an array of Italian wines, culinary pairings, and even cash prizes for volunteered com- petitive blind tastings, to merge a well-rounded adventure for wine and gastro geeks.
