The incredible wines
of Northern Piedmont
The wines of Barolo
and Barbaresco are majestic and have played
an incomparable role in showing the world
the glory of the Nebbiolo grape. But these
towns only show part of the glory that
is Piedmont, the foothills of the Alps.
As you get closer to the actual mountain
range, the elevation obviously increases
and the vertical slope goes the way of
Hitchcock's Vertigo. The resulting wines
(Carema, Boca, Lessona) show a different
breed and range of flavors. Joining us
tonight will be Christophe Kunzli of Le
Piane; he is bringing along some older
examples of Boca to show us that these
wines are just as majestic as their more
southern brethren.

A Spirited Dinner
The
rise of the cocktail over the last 10
years is extraordinary. Not only have
we seen a raft of new creations by spirited
mixologists but a revisiting of the classics
has also invigorated the industry and
consumers. The pride and care taken by
bartenders now rivals some chefs in their
creative flair and willingness to experiment.
But can these beverages work their magic
with savory food as well as they do to
wet the palate at the beginning of a meal?
Our team of spirited folk is relishing
the challenge and promise nothing less
than a new world order of beverage and
food matching.
Monday, March 8th, 7:00pm $145.00

Pinot Noir: is it
the perfect grape and wine?
While still a disciple of all things off
the beaten path, I now find myself more
and more drawn to the alluring profile
of the Pinot Noir grape. It captivates
in ways that few other grapes can, and
this sentiment applies to producers, as
well as consumers. Everyone regards Burgundy
as the true home of Pinot Noir though
we spend a lot of time pursuing other
regions that can approximate the wily
wonders of this wine. An exploration will
be undertaken of the world of Pinot Noir
tonight with constant reflection and references
to its Old World home.
