special event:The Most Important Italian Wine 2.0 | 60

By popular demand, we’re bringing back one of our most beloved events. On Wednesday, join us for a lighthearted (and delicious) debate featuring guest sommeliers from Chicago and beyond as they tackle a big question: what is the most important Italian wine? Hear four unique perspectives on Italy’s wine world—its history, culture, and influence—while tasting six nominated wines as our panel explores a deeper question at the heart of it all: what does it truly mean for a wine to be “important”?
