The IACC Texas gives a warm shout-out to Taste of Italy Exhibitor GB Export, a Piedmont-based export and marketing group for their recent placements at Taste of Italy Houston, Dallas, El Paso — the largest trade fair devoted exclusively to Italian food and wine in the U.S.

Founder Gabriella Binello and her staff, like Tommaso Portieri (pictured above, right), have been attending Taste of Italy for many years now and her clients have made multiple placements of their wines in the Lone Star State.

Recent new exports include wines by wineries Prediomagno, Paradiis, Donna Viola, Cerulli, and Le Ginestre. Each are now launching or have already launched their brands with Texas-based importers.

GB Export also attended the first ever Taste of Italy El Paso last year and plans to be there again for this year’s event — the second of its kind in the western Texas city.

Texas continues to be home to one of the fastest-growing restaurant communities in the U.S. And each of its major cities are among the fastest growing in the U.S.

For more than a decade, Taste of Italy — in Houston, Dallas, and more recently in El Paso — has been a leader in connecting Italian food and wine companies with importers and distributors in the state.
