As many of you might know, I have begun hosting private wine tasting events! Mostly for groups under 20 at this point. The number may be small, but I can provide specific and detailed purchasing advice & service as well as work the event personally. Here are some recent photos from a very successful evening in Damascus, PA!
The theme of the tasting was "Summer Wines." Featuring some of my favorites: Joh. Jos. Prüm Spatlese 2010 Riesling, Durigutti 2012 Bonarda, Valle Dell'Acate 2012 Frappato and COS Cerasuolo di Vittoria 2011 (Nero d'Avola/Frappato blend).
Hippie garb somm style seemed appropriate for this outdoor event (notice the fancy birks). :D
I'm obviously raving about how cool Frappato is.
Cerasuolo di Vittoria! The only DOCG in Sicily! (ask me what that means later!)
Happy patrons/friends.
Cheers to a magical evening! Thank you to Colette Ballew for hosting, as well as all her wonderful friends for the food and company!
