VINE TO GLASS
Dolce V(it)A
Dessert wines that change minds

Before Rosé finally entered the household lexicon, pink wines were treated as second-glass citizens. Dessert wines have long suffered a similar fate. Around the world – and certainly In Virginia – however, world-class sweets abound. Crafted from a range of styles: cold fermentation, late-harvest, raisination, chaptalization, etc., the best local “stickies” beguile beyond their richness and dessert-ability. Join us for a spate of sweets that might just change your mind about what the sweet life is all about. Fee includes complimentary wine glass and wine samples. In traditional wine-pairing style, each wine accompanied by an expertly paired hors d’ oeuvres bite.
