2006 Vintage Italian Wine Tasting

Let us celebrate the occasion with wine and sweet words.

Plautus

We like sweet words, but we like wine better and this year we are studying wines that are 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 years of age.  We just finished our 10-year study of Italian wines a few weeks ago so now it’s on to 20-year-old Italians.  Join us as we pop some bottles of 2006 vintage wines from Italy to see how these 20-year-old wines are drinking today.   

This is true scientific research that we are doing here at the Wine Watch, checking each bottle to see when the best time to consume for the most drinking pleasure.  It's hard work but we are willing to sacrifice our body for our wine drinking people.  These wines are all from the outstanding 2006 vintage from Italy and they are now at 20 years of age which is what many would consider to be fully mature. 

The 2006 vintage was outstanding in many places on Earth for wine, but I remember being most excited about the wines of Piedmont and Tuscany both produced a bevy of cellar worthy wines but they would need 20+ years in the cellar, well now they are at 20 years of age and it’s time to see if the critics were correct about these wines.

There are only 14 spaces available at this event and the fee for this tasting which includes dinner and gratuity is $295 + tax, for reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com.
