Nov. 6th Tasting: Tuscan Wines

When the weather turns cool and blustery I start to crave food and wine from northern Italy. Don’t you? There’s something magical about enjoying a bowl of pasta with a hearty meat sauce and a glass of Brunello while the wet wind slaps at the trees outside. Or coming in from the cold night air to smell a simmering white bean & sage stew and hear the cork slip out of a bottle of Chianti Classico. Tuscan wines just seem so right when we’re sliding toward winter! If you’d like to test this idea, stop by the shop on Friday, November 6th from 4:30 to 6:30pm , when Elaine Testa from Casa Bruno will be offering tastes of four delicious Tuscan wines: 2008 Corte alla Flora IGT Giuggiolo Bianco, 2005 Castelli Martinozzi Rosso di Montalcino, 2006 Felsina Chianti Classico, and 2003 Centolani Brunello di Montalcino . Perhaps a reason to look forward to dark and stormy nights?
