Summer in Italy

In Italy, one of the best places to beat the heat in summer is in a wine cellar; they are underground, with a natural cooling insulation of stone and soil, and, of course, are full of delicious smelling wine barrels.

We don't have a centuries-old wine cellar to put you in for this August Wine Tasting, but we do have Italian Wines . . . and air-conditioning.

Our summer wine-tastings are more casual affairs than our usual wine dinners; shared plates, light tastes, and wines that accompany those fresh flavors. Join us this month for a tour of Italian wines perfect for summer.
