Vintage Amarone della Valpolicella Wine Tasting back to 1985

“Sometimes it would be nice to just have some red wine with dinner, but it’s not worth the risk. I have a great life, a great situation. Why would I want to risk self-destructive behavior?”

Kristin Davis

 If wine with dinner is destructive then I am a wrecking ball!! 

I love Italian wines.  It is hard to believe that when I bought the store 28 years ago, we only had 4 different Italian labels on the shelf.  Today, we have one of the greatest collections of Barolos, Barbarescos, Super Tuscans, Chianti, and of course Amarone available not only in South Florida but anywhere in the world!

We just received an incredible collection of vintage Amarone that included several vintages of one of our favorite Amarone producer’s wines.  Yes, I am referring to the winery that invented Amarone- Bertani.  That means it’s time to do some serious scientific work here with Amarone and on this night we have Bertani back to the legendary 1988 vintage! 

Bertani is an old school producer of Amarone, they don't have temperature controlled drying rooms like most of the modern Amarone producers today.  They feel that the weather is one of the characteristics that determines the style of the vintage.  Tonight, we have 12 different Amarone della Valpolicella on the table including several vintages of Bertani. 

The price of this event which includes dinner is $295 per person + tax.  For reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com.  Please let us know when you make your reservation if you have any dietary restrictions and chefs Toni and Dani will be happy to accommodate you.
