Understanding the Wines of Northern Italy (09/30/23)
September 30, 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Understanding the Wines of Northern Italy – About:
Italy is one of the top wine-producing countries in the world. Wine shops and restaurant menus offer countless styles of varieties from the region, but do you actually know what kind of grape is in a Chianti? Have you tried a Nero d’ Avola? Maybe you have yet to find your favorite Italian wine?
This class will offer several tastings of wines commonly found on menus and local wine shops and we will de-mystify the labels so you can shop and order Italian wines with confidence!
Because there are so many wines that we want to share with you, we will be offering two classes: Italian Wines from the North and Italian Wines from the South! Each will have different wines to taste, and one is not a prerequisite to the other.
Guests will be able to enjoy complimentary glasses of wine to analyze and enjoy. We will also provide a charcuterie board for guests.
