Difficulty level: Deep Dive

Italy has the most impressive roster of grape varieties on the planet. Its unique geography, tapestry of distinct regional identities, and strong historical winegrowing tradition have given rise to a formidable cast of characters. Local specialties and obscure varieties can be found all over the country, offering near-endless potential for adventurous drinkers, and each one has a story to tell––but many of these grapes are effectively unknown in the greater wine world. Ren will share some of her favorite varieties from all over Italy with a lineup that goes way beyond Sangiovese and Nebbiolo, and she'll even help you pronounce them.

This class will begin at 6:00pm on Tuesday, February 18 and run for approximately 90 minutes. Wines tasted in class will be available for purchase with a discount available to attendees only. Seating is limited.
