Virtual Italian Wine Tasting

In quality, quantity and pure enjoyment, Italy is the world’s greatest wine-grower. But until the 1950’s, most Italian wine was sold in bulk, with no reference to grape, region or vintage. How did this nation known for straw-wrapped bottles of plonk transform into America’s favorite import?  Join Advanced Sommelier, Mary Ross, in this virtual class as we taste 3 favorite Italian wines, practice Italian wine terms and discuss traditional and New World food pairings for Italian wine!

To enhance your experience, we recommend you’re tasting the same wines with Mary Ross during class. Order your three 750ml bottles of Italian wine for curbside pickup from The Chopping Block Lincoln Square on Wednesday and Thursday from 1-5pm, Friday from 12-4pm, or Saturday from 12-2pm.

Wines Featured in Class:

• Bozen, Pinot Grigio, Alto Adige, Italy, 2018
• Borgo Scopeto, Chianti Classico DOCG, Tuscany, Italy, 2017
• Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, Baron Cornacchiam “Cassanova”, Abruzzo, Italy, 2016

If you’re unable to pick up the wines from TCB, we recommend you procure bottles featuring the same region and grape. This includes:

• Pinot Grigio from Italy
• Chianti Classico DOCG from Tuscany, Italy 
• Montepulciano d’Abruzzo from Abruzzo, Italy 

Complete your evening, and order one of our charcuterie and cheese plates to enjoy during your wine tasting available for curbside pickup on Saturday, 4/17 from 12-2pm.
