On Deck: Wines of Italy

Angela is hosting our meeting this month, and her theme is Gli vini d'Italia (the wines of Italy).

We will meet at 7:00 PM on Monday, October 19th. Please see the e-vite for Angela's address which is a walkable distance from the Eastern Market (Blue/Orange Lines) and Union Station (Red Line) Metro stops.



At this meeting, our hosts have decided to spice things up a little and do this as a blind tasting- nobody will know about the wines prior to tasting them. This sensory evaluation is a great way to develop your pallate and discover new characteristics about wines. It is also a good way to check perceptions about a particular region or producer. So bring your Italian wine (minimum of $15)covered in aluminum foil or in a paper bag so that no one can see it. Also, please bring some facts about your wine.
