Italy! The Land of the Vine, according to the ancient Greeks;
nowhere else is wine so closely intertwined with daily life in every
village throughout the Italian peninsula - not even France. Nowhere

offering an in-depth look at Italian wine with three classes, each
organized by region:

Marches, Emilia-Romagna, Molise, Abruzzi)
3. March 11th - The North (Piedmont, Valle d'Aosta, Liguria,
Lombardy, Veneto, Alto Aldige/Trentino, Friuli-Giulia-Venezie)
Each region, its history and wines, will be discussed in depth with
up-to-date hand-outs. Each class will include tasting 8 regional
wines.
