What's the future of international restaurants in the U.S. market? And how do Italian wines play a part? Those were the two pivotal questions to kick off Jordan Salcito's presentation yesterday in New York, at the start of VINO 2017, a trade show and tasting organized by the Italian Trade Commission exclusively for wine industry professionals and media.

Salcito, Wine Director at the Momofuku restaurant group, spoke to a room full of Italian producers about the trends she's seeing and the consumer demands that are driving them. Here, from my fly-on-the-wall seat at the back of the room, are Salcito's ten takeaways that Italian wineries and their fans will be watching.
