Shelley Lindgren, Wine Director and Owner of A16 in San Francisco stopped by SommChat. The restaurant focuses on pizza (and more) along with the wines of Southern Italy. If you need a crib sheet for Italian wines to watch, Lindgren dishes up picks on regions, grapes, and sweet wines you need to discover.
What's changed in the last decade?
