Every Day Wine – Italy

Lots of new Italian wines being poured this month (starting this Friday) at EDW. Some that sparkle, a few obscure, many accessible, others age-worthy. All delicious. Be sure to bring your Italian cheeses and cured meats for an ideal experience. Something for everyone this month. And, an Italian Wine 101 Class in March… see below. Hope you can join us!
