Some say love makes the world go 'round, and others say it's money, but we at IWM know that it's wine--especially Italian wine! Join IWM as we dive deep into iconic Italy, uncovering the best-loved, most secret, and all-around best Italian wines that you may never have drunk! A knowledgeable IWM sommelier will be your guide for this trip through Italian wine. Combining elements of our most popular tastings, this sit-down event, accompanied by meats and cheeses, will feature Italy's amazing indigenous grapes, nique winemaking techniques, rare terroir, and beloved borrowings. Through hands-on experience, guests will learn the differences between northern and southern Italian wines, why the Tuscan coastline is well suited for the Super-Tuscan varietals, and how an ancient sea influences terroir. We'll make stops in Piemonte, visit the Veneto, and maybe peek into Puglia--along with other surprises! Spend an exceptional Saturday afternoon in New York among the best of Italy; it's a tour in a wine glass!
