Virtual Friuli & Tuscany Maremma Zoom Wine Dinner Event

October 24th: Saturday in Friuli and Maremma Tuscany Wine Dinner

Ciao! Join us as we continue our virtual Italy tour, and this time we visit Friuli with an amazing 5 year Tre Bicchieire Award winner and we revisit Tuscany, to the Maremma area of the region. As the weather cools a bit and we are easing into fall, our menu reflects this transition in our pairing menu of the wines with the classic foods of the regions.

Join us as we welcome back Guest Speaker Pietro Cavallo, Owner/Importer for Wine4All, and Dott. Luca Costa, Owner of the Tenuta Costa Terre di Fiori Wines, joining us live from his home in Italy. Pietro has shared with us other Tre Bicchiere wines in past dinners and they never disappoint. He is introducing to us a 5 time award winner from Friuli, then we move over to the Maremma area of Tuscany with 3 wines from Terre di Fiore, with Luca joining as well. The wines are all outstanding and you will be delighted with the interesting and limited production wines we will enjoy with typical foods of the area. 

So if you are interested in trying new wines and enjoying the food we have paired with them as we learn about the wine, foods and the regions, reserve your package today! It is truly a fun, informative and delightful experience to be able to see one another around our virtual dining room table and enjoy the evening together. 

Hope to see you on the 24th!
