Circa 1989 Reunion The AAA Valtaro Celebration on September 8th, 2012, at the Magnanini Winery in Wallkill, NY, will honor the Magnanini Family for their continuous support of live accordion music at their establishment. I recently interviewed Rick and Rachel Magnanini, about the history of the Magnanini Winery. Great food, wine, company and great accordion music was the vision of Rick's father, Galba Magnanini, and he made it a successful reality. Today the family tradition is continued with devotion and dedication by Rick and Rachel Magnanini along with their two sons, Robert and David. The family background is fascinating and is covered in full detail in the USA Accordion News at: http://www.accordionusa.com/default.aspx?d=01-Jul-2012#art1093 Accordion performers over the years include: Galba and Gelso Pelligrini, Manny Carallo, Angelo Di Pippo, Charles Nunzio and Ray Oreggio. Rick said, "People really like the accordion and really enjoy the focus on the accordion at the Magnanini Winery." Mario Tacca, along with Frank Carozza, Dominic Karcic and Frank Toscano presently play at the winery.
