SCHEDULE
May 1 - Rosé All May Part 1: The Elegant North $35
Pink may be "in", but it's sorely undervalued - as we kick off our annual Rosé All May celebration, let's change that! This week we'll explore what Northern Italy thinks about rosé, from crisp and light to intense and unusual. Famous wine producers, niche projects up in the Alps, and unique historical wines will prove that Pink is more than just for chugging next to your neighbor's pool.
May 8 - Destination: Veneto, Part 1 - Prosecco Precision $35
Prosecco is so easily sloshed into some orange juice for breakfast and forgotten - but the range of quality and style of this exceptional bubbly will amaze any wine lover. Join tonight's class for a sparkling study in Italy's most famous fizz.
May 15 - Destination: Veneto, Part 2 - "The Valley of Many Cellars" $35
Join us tonight for a walk from the shores of Lake Garda up to the highest heights of the Valpolicella to explore the red wine blends that make this region the star of the Veneto, and understand the unique production methods behind Ripasso and Amarone!
May 22 - Rosé All May Part 2: The Wild South $35
In part two of our Rosé All May series, our magenta musings meander southward to see the huge contrast in Southern Italian rosé - an exciting array of pink wines from indigenous grapes both muscly and musical that any wine-lover should definitely experience!
May 29 - Destination: Veneto, Part 3 - The King and Queen of White Wines $35
Lugana and Soave have produced wines for hundreds of years, and with recent success of high-quality producers, should be on your table all spring and summer! Come enjoy an exploration of the history and styles of these two premier wines of the Veneto.
June 5 - Destination: Veneto, Part 4 - No Grey Area: The Breadth of Pinot Grigio $35
Pinot Grigio is certainly famous for producing simple, fresh, character-less wines served at wedding banquets all across the country; but join tonight's class to explore the depth and uniqueness that so often goes forgotten with this under-respected and over-produced grape!
