A spectacular Tuscan tasting led by Sergio Esposito, the lead authority on Italian wine and owner of Italian Wine Merchants (a wine specialty store located in Manhattan, opened in 1999 with Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich). Widely considered the epicenter of the Italian wine world, Toscana is steeped with winemaking history and tradition while simultaneously positioned at the forefront of Italys modern wine movement. From the variations of the Sangiovese varietal expressed in the Chianti and Brunello zones to the fleet of innovative Super-Tuscan blends that broke with tradition--Tuscan wines deliver quality and world-class style.
Mr. Esposito will be signing copies of his new book Passion on the Vine: A Memoir of Food, Wine, and Family in the Heart, a book that Bill Buford describes as, "Without qualification, the best book about Italian wine today, if only because Sergio Esposito understands that its mysterious greatness is in its poetry, the earth, its diurnal magic, the ghosts of great-grandfathers. A beautiful, boldly sentimental memoir." The price of the seminar includes a complimentary copy of the book, which retails for $25.
Wines: Le Macchiole Paleo Rosso, Villa Mangiacane Chianti Riserva, Il Macchione Vino Nobile Riserva, Il Palazzone Brunello di Montalcino Riserva, and Castellin Villa Vin Santo. |
