Sample Saturdays: Free Wine Tasting with Resident Oenophile, Linda Frey!

Are you a lover of Italian wines? In addition to our complimentary daily wine tastings, join us every Saturday as we introduce new wines to you from all over Italy. You will taste up to 3 wines that we will choose to offer to "expand your palate" and we will share food pairing ideas too!

Linda will be offering:

Boccadigabbia Colli Maceratesi Ribona – 100% Ribona. Only a handful of producers make wine from Ribona, a rare, indigenous white grape variety grown in central Italy. In the province of Macerata, the grape it is also known as Maceratino. Crisp and aromatic, with hints of yellow peach, apricot, mango, mimosa, and chamomile, and a pleasantly fresh and mineral finish.

Librandi Ciro Bianco – 100% Greco Bianco. Brilliant lemon-green in color, aromas of peaches and citrus fruits complement undertones of herbs and flowers. On the palate, zesty acidity and a long finish showcase this wine's subtle hints of toasted almonds and macadamia nuts. Pair this wine with ceviche, gremolata sauces and grilled swordfish

Andrea Bocelli Sangiovese IGT - Unoaked yet lush, this Tuscan classic positively sings with dark cherry, black tea, and berry compote. A touch of graphite and soy add to the juicy, crowd-pleasing palate. Enjoy on the daily with pasta dishes, chicken and pork.

Villa Jolanda Mosacto and Strawberry - Intense and aromatic strawberry-flavored. Delicate and sweet. Well balanced. Perfect with dessert and especially with pastries.
