Sir John Kirwan is the first to talk openly about his love affair with Italy...with Treviso in the region of Veneto in particular. Thankfully his wife indulges this passion – she was born there, so she understands the allure. During the 30 years this affair has carried on, John has had the pleasure of meeting local Distillers and Winemakers. People who bring others together, to enjoy quality food and wine – the Italian way!
