Love the 3-Bs? Barbera, Barolo, and Brunello?
If you have the Recession Blues and you’re bored with your 2-buck Chuck, here’s a wine bargain way to taste15 great vinos from the thousands of grape varietals on the hills of Italy. Italians are likely the most opinionated and passionate about their favorites. Mention a French Bordeaux in a piazza in Italy and you’re likely to get a black eye! And rightfully so. Here’s a three-hour crash wine course that’s guaranteed to get you Italia vino savvy in a flash. Taste, eat, and listen to an expert wine educator—Roberto Hernandez—guide you thru a trek to many of the most notable wine regions of Italy. From bubbly Prosecco to silky Vin Santo. Taste for yourself how the earthy aroma of Sangiovese can just drive you crazy. Pricey Amarone? That’s amore! When? Sunday August 16th. Where? A beautiful backyard garden at an Edwardian house in the Mission District in San Francisco at 1347 Minna Street. There will be plenty of Italian-inspired food to go along with all the great vino. Time? 2 till 5 pm. Cost? $40/person which is a deal considering the wines being poured--like a 10-year-old Barbaresco and Super Tusca and 13 more. The class is limited to a dozen oenophiles. Viva Italia!
