Join us at TASTY WEDNESDAY this coming Wednesday for an exploration into one of the most prominent Italian w**es and a celebration of the varietal that makes it: Sangiovese and Chianti.
Drop in from 4-7 as we pour from the Chianti region’s most impactful w**e makers.
Widely known for pairing with Italy’s general food canon, Chianti’s range of tasting notes vary from the introductory notes of dried herbs, sour cherry, smoke and game to more specific notes like dried oregano, pomegranate, vanilla and to***co. Some liken Chianti and Sangiovese to the smells you might encounter in the Italian kitchen or walking down a rustic street, a pantry passeggiata passing by drying herbs, a man smoking a pipe, fresh fruit stands…superficial maybe, stereotypical certainly, but here in the most northwestern corner of the United States we’re simply imagining Chianti as a pillar of Italian culture similar to olive oil or pasta…more simply put: A way of life.

This tasting, we are setting your taste buds to experience Chianti and Sangiovese at an introductory sip, $32 and under, then against a graduated version of the same varietal and style, $40 and above.
Here we will look for nuance of flavor, we will taste the different vineyards on the estate and how their varying terroir impact the flavor. It’s a fun, 4 w**e line up exploring not only the expression offered from this incredibly important varietal but also from some exceptional w**e makers who continue to evolve what it means to carry the generations of tradition behind them while sustaining the earth for the many generations to come after.
