Vino Italiano: Tre Venezie, The Wines of Northeast Italy with Antonio Molesini
Tuesday July 8, 6:30 to 8pm
A romantic, storied land radiates out from Venice, Italy — one of the world’s most beautiful cities. With its stunning alpine vistas and fertile plains running from the Po, Adige, Piave and Tagliamento rivers to the Adriatic Sea, this section of Northeast Italy embraces a climate that sets it apart from the rest of this Mediterranean country. It is known as the Tre Venezie: the Veneto, Trentino-Alto Adige and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. It is also the source of some of Italy’s finest red, white, sparkling and dessert wines and we'll be tasting some of our favorites with Antonio. We'll also have a little something to accompany the wines from the Italian Barrel, a new wine bar and cafe opened by Samantha Castagnetti, a native of the Veneto region. Tastings are limited to 40 people, please call to reserve your spot.

Friday Free For All
Friday July 11, 6 to 8pm
Morgan Stroud of Purveyor will be in the shop tasting 4 great picks from producer Fess Parker. When Fess Parker was cast in the roll of Davy Crockett in the mid-1950’s, it caused an international sensation and changed his life forever. So too did the purchase of 714 acres in the Santa Ynez Valley change the course of the Parker family’s history.

Swirlin Dervish, New Favorites From South America
July 15, 6:30 to 8pm
On the international wine stage, South America is hot, and getting hotter every day as the dollar tanks and euro ascends. The reputation of this wine continent – built on reliable, value for money wines – is nowadays all about world-class quality. Chile has always been good at producing good-value, straightforward red wines with exuberant fruity qualities, whilst wine drinking Argentina had gained a reputation for its simple table wines. Over the last two decades, however, an emphasis on quality has totally transformed both wine giants. Their vineyards, their wineries and their wines are now at an impressive international standard so come by to taste some of our new favorites tonight. Tastings are limited to 40 people , please call to reserve your spot.
