Attended my first Pizza Expo last year at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Why would a wine and spirits writer attend a pizza show? Well, considering that all that wonderful cheesy crusty meat-lovers-and-more pizza HAS to be paired with wine or spirits, and I’m there. We got to try some amazing new products, new toppings…
