March 15 - This Saturday, we’ll be pouring three Barbaresco alongside three Barolo. The Barbaresco and Barolo regions are the top regions in Piemonte producing the top Nebbiolo wines in the world. While Nebbiolo, the grape used to make both Barbaresco & Barolo, has a history dating back to at least the 13th century, the modern wines as we know them are a relatively recent development. In the 1970s and 1980s, Barolo and Barbaresco producers began to respond to changing tastes and trends, leading to a shift towards a "modern" style with less tannic wines that could be enjoyed sooner. The association of Barolo with royalty, particularly King Carlo Alberto, led to the wine being known as "the wine of kings" and later, "the king of wines".We will also be pouring an optional higher-end Barolo you don’t want to miss.Normal tasting hours are 10:30am to 3:00pm. If the wines have not run out by 3:00pm, they will continue to be poured until 5:15pm.Six Tastes: $25All the wines will be available for purchase until sold out.Bring some food as these wines show better with food.Get ready for Brunello di Montalcino tasting the following week on March 22.
