Northern Italian Wines from the Trentino Region 2-5 p.m.
(7/31/2010)
Territory: Trentino is one of the few Italian region not touched by the sea, its territory is mountainous and includes the majestically beautiful Dolomite group, and a great number of small lakes. Historically under the domain of Austria for long centuries, in the Northern part of the region as a consequence the German language is spoken, and the region is officially bilingual. Famous for its production of apples and wines, the region has a greatly developed tourist industry, famous for its winter resorts, such as Madonna di Campiglio.We are delighted to have our favorite Italian Specialist, Chris Zimmerman, with Vias Imports pouring a wonderful line-up of these great value and delicious Italian Wines.Torre di Luna Pinot Grigio 2009Torre di Luna Chardonnay 2009Cantele Negroamaro Rosato 2009Cantele Primitivo 2007Marenco Moscato d'Asti "Strev" 2009Marenco Brachetto

Small Vineyards Tasting 4-7 p.m.
(9/11/2010)
We are seekers of those outstanding small vineyard wines. Most importers would never give these wines a second thought, regardless of quality, because there is not enough to make a brand. Think of Small Vineyards as your personal wine detectives in Italy. We typically taste 200 to 300 wines each month, but only fall in love with one or two. Those we bring home, so that you, too, can discover them. As wonderful as the wine is, the stories of the families and artisans who make them are equally important. Who does not want to know more about the composer, painter, singer, or writer that touches more than your basic senses? We have found that many of you are like us and have a sincere desire to know more about the artists who make the wine. After all, what is art, if not a direct reflection of the one who makes it?
