Winebow Leonardo Locascio Selections Tasting at Wine Watch Saturday June 11th 7pm

"..the good talk that is inseparable from a wine dinner is even more important than the wines that are being served. Never bring up your better bottles if you are entertaining a man who cannot talk.  Keep your treasures for a night when those few who are nearest to your heart can gather round your table, free from care, with latchkeys in their pockets and no last train to catch."   --Maurice Healy, Claret

This is the most comprehensive tasting of Italian wines that we have ever attempted but when the folks at Winebow contacted me to put together this event- I thought what a great way to spend Saturday evening sampling some of the best wines that Italy has to offer from all corners of the Italian Peninsula. 

Winebow/Leonardo Locascio Selections has an amazing collection of wineries and the list below is all of the people who will be at our event on Saturday with in most cases a direct representative for the wineries will be here at the store to answer questions about their wines.  An incredible line-up of producers from Basilicata to the Veneto and everything in between and each producer will be showing several wines.  I have listed the wines from the first few producers that will be at the event but due to space limitations in this e-mail I have only included the line-up of wines from the first few, but it looks like we will have over 150 different wines here!

We will have tasting and food stations set up both inside and outside the store in the grotto with Wine Watch catering's Toni Lampasone providing the tasty treats to accompany the tasting wines.  The fee for this tasting is $35 + tax for reservations call 954-523-9463
