24 different wines &....... that's right, The Cheese Bar! From Parmesano Italiano to bacon-infused smoked cheddar... mmmm mmmm good.
Two sessions to choose from 6PM-8PM or 830PM-1030PM
When you think "great wine", you'd most likely think "Italian." And why not? Italian Wines have become synonymous with "depth" and "character." Italy is home to some of the oldest wine-producing regions in the world, from Calabria, Campania, Lombardy, Sardinia, Tuscany, Umbria, and Veneto, to many others.
Who said… Show more having depth and character is boring? Here's your chance to dip those taste buds into the depth and character that distinguish Italian wines. The Taste of Italy Wine Tasting Event will introduce you to different varietals of Italian Wines.
Acquiring a taste for good wine is easier than you think, whether you are a novice or experienced wine drinker. It's mostly a matter of sampling a variety of wines, letting your taste buds become accustomed to the flavors of wine characteristics, and discovering what you like. With many different wines from variety of different regions and different countries, there will be something out there for everyone!
We also encourage you to take advantage of our wine social photo area. To capture embarrassing pictures of your friends, or maybe just of you and yours enjoying a delightful evening of wine tasting. Take snap shots of your favorite wines to check out for your next dinner party. But most importantly join our community by posting your favorites to your Instagram using the hashtag #grapestobottles
