Expert Profile: Giancarlo Boccaloni

Expertise:  I`m a wine importer (in Mexico) that deals with wine evaluation, how to sell wine on-premise and off=premise. I`m also have a great passion for wine and willing to help anyone that is looking to know more about wine. Wine is something that should be part of the family table, to me it was always one more thing on the family table. Abuse of anything is harmfull and I see wine very diferently than licor. Please don't ask me whata particular wine is worth, I'm not an expert in this, although there are companies that specialyze in this and can be found at the add on wine magazines and internet.

Experience in the area
Wine, Wine sales, Wine tasting, Wine evaluation, Food and wine pairing.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  There is always something to learn about wine, there are so many reagions that each are working on new things that it really is impossible to know everything, no matter how long you spend in the business.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  Wine is very closely related to the culture of where it is made
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  Not only because you like a wine does it make it good or if you don't like it does it make it bad.
