Sample Saturdays: Free Wine Tasting with Russ Lorber of Wide Roots!

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!

Russ will be offering the following wines:

Venetian Hills “Vivace Con Brio” Asolo Prosecco Superiore DOCG - Very small production from Asolo, one of best Prosecco regions! Light, lemon color with minute bubbles, aromas of citrus and flowers. A crisp, fresh, and balanced Prosecco with a delicate finish. Best enjoyed with a light fare or while relaxing.

Audarya Cannonau di Sardegna DOC 2020 - Southeast Sardinia in a glass. Stainless steel aging brings out the sunny days, sea breezes, and minerality of the land. Pepper character and bright, ripe red fruit. Good with cured or grilled meats and aged cheese. Audarya’s version is a pure expression, at 100% Cannonau.

Centopassi “Argille di Tagghia Via” Nero d’Avola Sicilia DOC 2018 - The classic Sicilian grape, organically grown. This Nero d’Avola pairs perfectly with pasta and tomato sauce or grilled meat. Dried rose and autumn leaf aromas, dried cherry and blackberry on the palate. Centopassi is part of the anti-mafia movement in Sicily.

Ghiga Moscato d’Asti DOCG 2021 - Perfect for dessert, or celebration. Produced by the Ghiga brothers, Enrico and Davide, this effervescent wine has a complex fruit profile, with citrus, melon, and stone fruit, complemented by characters of honey and ginger. Add a little sweet sparkle to your life!
