WINE CLASSES

Ever thought about learning the difference between ripasso and passito? Or, how you can make white wine from red grapes?

OTTO VINO classes are held in the Enoteca at our standing bar tables and run at about an hour and a half depending on the course schedule. Saturday's lecture-based courses are led by Wine Director Dan Amatuzzi and include active participation from the class. Sommelier Marcos Ruiz's and Olga Baiadina's Sunday courses are conducted in a more social setting, moving from table to table for more one-on-one discussion. See below for the varying events and schedule.

FEATURED EVENT!

ULTIMATE TASTING: SUPER TUSCANS!

Tuscany is known for the classic red wines of Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino. There are, however, legendary wines produced from all corners of the region. Many of these wines are simply referred to as "Super-Tuscans", comprised of a seemingly enless combination of grapes. Join us for an afternoon as we taste some of the classics, the obscure, and the collectables and sip your way straight into the rolling hills of Tuscany!

Saturday, September 20th, 2:00pm

$100/person
