From Soave to Brachetto, this Friday we’ll pour a few under-acknowledged (yet so delicious!) Northern Italian wines — that won’t be a strain on the wallet. In addition, we’ll also show you some compelling and rustic, old-world style reds from this area. Keep in mind, Italy is less than three-quarters the size of California, with a looooooong list of documented grape varietals. And as you know, it is also a gastronomically diverse country, producing food and wines that are at once refined, dignified, restrained, and elegant. So many options, what’s not to love about Italy!?!
***Upcoming Friday Night Tastings***
- 2009 Caldaro Pinot Nero, Alto Adige.
- 2008 La Slina Rocco Rosso Dolcetto d’Ovada DOCG, Piedmont.
- 2010 Tommasi Valpolicella ‘Ripasso’, Veneto.
- 2010 Gagliardo Villa M Brachetto, Piedmont.
CLUBHOUSE ROCK
The EDW Monthly Wine Club is recruiting. The idea is simple, the logistics are easy, and the wines are affordable and accessible. Two bottles, once a month, with total cost between $25-$35, never to exceed $35. You may specify “Only Reds” if you like; otherwise, there will be occasional bubbles, whites and roses in the mix, especially during summer months and appropriate holidays. One of the two bottles will always be a red.
How it works:
- Reply to this email to join. Credit card information will NOT be collected. We’re using the “promise to pick up” system. Weird, huh?
- Trust your EDW merchant to choose only fun and interesting wines — that are great values — by the 15th of every month.
- I will email the selections to you each month, informing you that the club wines are ready to be picked up.
- Pick up your club wines by the 30th of the month.
I will only select wines for the club that I would be willing to take home myself. I want to keep things affordable, and show you wines that exceed expectation based on the price. Some obscure, some crowd pleasers. Some party wines, some food wines. All reliable. This will be a lot of fun for all of us. Who knows, you may fall in love with a grape or region you’d never considered. All part of the joy of discovering wine… I’m looking forward to introducing you to my real “go to” wines.
As always, I really do appreciate your loyalty and support. I am one lucky local entrepreneur.
