Thursday, October 29th from 5 - 7: Robert Houde pours De Grazia's extraordinary 2007 Terre Nere single vineyard wines tonight. You do not want to miss out on these rare birds from pre-phylloxera Nerello grown at over 3,000 feet elevation on the slopes of Mount Etna, especially if you're a fan of terroir-driven Burgundy and Barolo, the benchmarks for heady/perfumed/earthy wines to which Terre Nere
has been frequently compared. Not at all what you would expect from sun-baked Sicily. And, considering how little gets made, the only meaningful way in which these wines differ from Burgundy and Barolo is that they are not crazy Rockefeller expensive: all but one of the single vineyard wines sell for less than $40 and the multi-vineyard "young-vine" (meaning less than 40 years old!!!) blend is only $16 bucks.

Monday, November 9th from 6:30 - 8:00: Brezza Barolo tasting with small plates by Cucina della Rosa and very special guest, the up-and-coming young Barolo winegrower, Enzo Brezza. Amazing lineup paired with classic Piedmontese dishes. At $25 a head, I'm thinking this event will fill up so you might want to grab a spot now. Read More:>>
