The Burlington Wine Shop is a wonderful place. The store is filled with very knowledgeable people who know their wine....and they share that knowledge with the Burlington community, willingly and in the most fun ways! For example, in order to acquaint their clientele with fabulous wines from Northern Italy, they hosted a lovely wine tasting one evening in August. They showcased 25 (!!!!) wines from Italy....a lovely variety of reds and a few whites. They served lovely appetizers, provided knowledge about the region and the wine, and were great hosts to a very fun evening. We happened to share this evening with our dear friends, Deb/Don Urban and Paula/Bill Gile. Deb and Don, in particular, were very curious about the evening's unveiling - they leave for Italy in about two weeks, hopefully now armed with a bit more knowledge about Italian Reds!? We clearly sampled the best of what Northern Italy has to offer...
One of our very knowledgeable Sommeliers of the evening.....and his pour tended to be very generous throughout the event! ;-)
This is just one region of Reds that were showcased that evening....three regions total to sample! So much wine, so little time.......
Deb and Don enjoying the Reds! And so looking forward to their upcoming trip to ITALY!
Cheers to Italy...
Toasting to the Reds of Northern Italy. Very rarely do I enjoy red wine, however, on this particular evening, I really, really, REALLY, discovered and enjoyed all of the Reds!
