Join us this summer at the Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management Institute for the Summer Wine Series, 2019!
This year theme: Wine Country – A survey of classic wine producing countries, their regions, and styles of wine. These informative sessions include a selection of wines from regions that help demonstrate style and quality while we explore ‘how the wines got that way.’ Each session includes a tasting, course material gathered by instructor, Ken Lipsmeyer, and a selection of hors d’ oeuvres themed to pair with the evening’s topic.
This session: The Wines of Italy
With an astounding array of styles, the wines of Italy can be as confusing as they are amazing and diverse. Following a large number of major wine regions spreading out from the Alps in the far north to Etna below the southern tip of the iconic boot, we will explore what role mountain and sea may play on these distinctive regions.
This session will feature wines from the Piedmont, Veneto, Trentino, Tuscany, Abruzzo, Basilicata, and Sicily. We will learn how to read the Italian wine label along with a few tricks on how to predict wine style based on climate and grape.
Tonight will feature a selection of hors d’oeuvres representing flavors of the regions.
