Wine Club Tasting: open to all
Theme for February’s Wine Club Selections: Serious wines from unknown places! With importer Adam Fox from Uva Imports
Have you ever been Burns Steakhouse in Tampa? If you’ve never been, it’s a legendary wine list. What makes it so is that you can drink wines from the last 50 years that: are great; you’ve never heard of; and they don’t break the bank. Their knowledgeable sommeliers started collecting the serious wines of all appellations, not just Bordeaux and Burgundy, decades ago. The wines rest in their ample cellar until they are ready to drink. I had a 1974 Cahors (Malbec from France) last time I was there. It was sublime. And it was about $60.
This tasting is all about discovering those wines. If wine is a journey, then let’s not travel back to the same village every weekend! Come to this class to taste wines that punch above their weight from the places that are the NEXT hot origins in wine.
Wines:
Vicus Aglianico 2018 (750mL)
Demarie Valmaggiore Roero Riserva 2019 (750mL)
Borgo San Daniele Arbis Ros 2018 (750ml)
Bove Montepulciano “Marso” 2018 (750mL)
Philippe Brocourt Chinon Rouge “Les Coteaux” 2020 (750mL)
Domaine Loic Mahe ‘Sable & Schiste’ Savennieres 2020 (750mL)
$6 for Club Members
$16 for non-members
