On the heels of the success of Taste of Italy Dallas, held last October, we are pleased to announce that Taste of Italy will return to the city on November 9-10, 2023 (11 a.m. – 4 p.m.). Are you a professional in the Food or Wine industry? Click HERE to register!
The IACC Texas is also pleased to announce the title for this year’s Taste of Italy Dallas at Eataly’s featured seminar: “Fit for a Pope: The wines of Rome’s volcanic hills.”
Wines grown in the volcanic soils in the farmland and hills that surround the capital have been favorites of Popes for centuries.
But they have garnered scarce attention in the U.S. where wine professionals are just beginning to appreciate their depth, nuance, and longevity.
For our Taste of Italy Dallas at Eataly wine event this year, we’ll feature products by Roman wineries Parvusager and Principe Pallavicini, two leading producers:
Parvus Ager, Roma DOC Bianco – Eterna, 2022
Principe Pallavicini, Frascati, 2022
Principe Pallavicini, Malvasia Puntinata, 2022
Parvus Ager, Roma DOC Rosso – Eterna, 2022
Principe Pallavicini, Syrah, 2021
Principe Pallavicini, Cesanese, 2022
We hope you can join us for what is sure to be an extraordinary tasting. Wine writer and wine educator, Jeremy Parzen, will be on hand to guide us through the wines.
Wines Fit for a Pope!

And as last year, it will be held at Eataly, one of the “anchor tenant” retailers and restaurants at the landmark North Park Center luxury shopping mall.
There couldn’t be a better backdrop for this year’s event. As the New York Times reported earlier this year, not only is Dallas the fastest growing city in the U.S. It is also being hailed as America’s “new Dubai” (“For Diners With Deep Pockets, Dallas Is the New Dubai,” May 2023).
“The area is home to 92,300 millionaires and 18 billionaires,” write the editors of the Times, “according to a 2022 report from Henley & Partners, a London investment firm, that ranked Dallas the 18th wealthiest city in the world. Several Fortune 500 companies, including AT&T and American Airlines, are headquartered in the area.”
“The Dallas-Fort Worth area has… about 15,000 places to eat. In 2022, the average Dallas household spent a larger share of its income on dining out than those in New York, Miami or San Francisco, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.”
“Some demographers predict that by the 2030s, Dallas — now the largest metropolis in Texas — could replace Chicago as the third-largest metro area in the nation.”
