Featured Wines: 9/4 Tasting

This week, our virtual tasting will explore Sicily, the island off the "boot" of Italy, world famous for hand painted ceramics and legendary beaches. As the largest island in the Mediterranean, the mineral rich soil and mild climate are ideal for wine making. We'll be trying three wines from the same family owned winery. The BAGLIO DELLE FATE estate is owned by siblings Valentina and Cesare. Their wines are produced with the greatest care for both the environment and for the consumer and capture the essence of Sicilian wine!

Virtual Tasting: Friday September 4th at 4:00pm (Mountain Time)
