After exploring the identity of 'Vins de France', she will now take us to Italy to discover 'declassified' wines, a world with very different dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this class, we’ll explore “declassified” Italian wines- bottles that offer the character, pedigree, and winemaking quality associated with Italy’s most celebrated regions, but often at a much friendlier price. Through a guided tasting, we’ll compare Barolo with Roero, Barbaresco with Langhe Nebbiolo, Brunello di Montalcino with Rosso di Montalcino, and explore two distinct styles of Prosecco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe goal isn’t simply to find cheaper alternatives. It’s to discover great producers and compelling wines that give you more of the experience for a lower price. We’ll look at why these wines differ, what they share with their more prestigious counterparts, and when choosing the “lesser” appellation might actually be the smarter- and more delicious- choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease join us\u003cspan\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eThursday, September 23 at 6pm on our mezzanine \u003c\/strong\u003eto discover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eItaly’s \u003cspan class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003esurprising\u003c\/span\u003e wines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeating is limited.
