VINE TO GLASS:
CIAO ITALIA, ARRIVEDERCI TESAURO

A farewell féte featuring the wines of Italy

Our Vine to Glass seminar series will continue, but we bid buon viaggio to our moderator and sommelier, Jason Tesauro, as he embarks on a move to Verona, Italia.

We’ll enjoy six wines, including a sparkling, two whites, two reds, and something sweet, spanning some of Tesauro’s Old World favorites. Chef Jared Serr will pair small plates inspired by the regions from whence the vino originated.

Join us for a mix of celebration, education, and feastification as we wrap-up a three-year journey from vine to glass.
