Friday Night Wine School - Italian Fizz, From Lambrusco to Metodo Classico

Join us for our attendance-limited, signup-only Friday night tasting!  Tastings are held on the back patio with a max of 10 people per time slot.

David Sobiesk contacted me about doing a Friday Night Wines School with a range of Lambursco from a producer who was visiting this week.  Unfortunately, her flight was leaving before the tasting and she could not join us, but it gave Dave and me a reason to show off the varied and diverse range of bubbles produced in northern Italy! 

Sparkling wine is made all over the Italian Peninsula.  From the growing popularity of Pet Nats to Charmat Method, Col Fondo and Metodo Classico, pretty much every region produces some sort of sparkling wine.  It is especially popular in northern Italy where Franciacorta and Trento excel in elegant Champagne styled wines, Prosecco thrives in Friuli Venezia and the Veneto and Lambrusco is said to have been made in Emilia Romagna for thousands of years.   

Join us tonight as we discuss the varied histories and production methods of some of our favorite regions.  And hopefully we'll be celebrating the continuation of cooler temps on the patio (especially for Dave's sake!).
