If you've been dreaming of summer days in Tuscany and balmy nights in the Veneto, then you'll love A Taste of Italy 2017, an evening of food & wine taking place at Astor Center from 6:00pm until 8:00pm on Thursday March 9, 2017.
Grab your $39 ticket (a $54 value) to enjoy two hours of celebrated wines from more than a dozen unique Italian regions, from the heights of the Piedmont in the north to the volcanic slopes of Sicily in the south.
During the evening, you will get to experience over 30 Italian red wines, white wines and rosés; including the immaculate Brunello di Montalcino, Ciacci Piccolomini (2010) to the refreshing Vespaiolo "Vignasilan," Contrà Soarda (2012).
Finally, no Italian tasting would be complete without food; you'll have Italian-inspired foods to enjoy at your leisure, think: Shrimp & Squid Fritto Misto, Crostini with Ricotta, Butternut Squash & Hot Honey, plus Astor Center's famed smorgasbord of cheese and charcuterie.
