GIANT Italian Wine Tasting

Saturday, June 8, 2013 from 12:00 PM to 2:30 PM

Giant Italian Wine TastingJoin us for a GIANT tasting featuring over 75 Italian wines ranging from sparkling Proseccos and crisp, fruity Biancos to light, food-friendly reds and big, hearty, inky-dark reds. This tasting will have it all! We'll also have a large buffet of Italian dishes for you to enjoy while you sip your way around the Italian countryside and stock up on great wines! Cost is only $25 and a portion of all sales will go to Pets, Inc. We will also be collecting pet food, blankets, towels and pet toys to donate to Pets Inc. In return for your donation, we'll reward you with a gift certificate! This is a fantastic opportunity to try a LOT of Italian wines AND purchase them for the lowest prices of the year (until our Fall GIANT Tasting)! Don't miss out! GET YOUR TICKETS HERE.
Space is limited and this tasting ALWAYS sells out! Tickets are non-refundable. If you can't make it, please give your spot to a friend. They'll love you for it.

Benziger Family Winery Dinner hosted by Mike BenzigerMike Benziger

Monday, June 10th at 6:30

It's a HUGE honor to have one of California's pioneers in sustainable and biodynamic winemaking host a dinner for us! Over twenty years ago, Mike began to realize his dream of "farming for flavor" after taking a chance turn onto a small road in Sonoma County. What has followed has been nothing short of amazing, as his family winery immediately became one of the benchmarks in the industry. Join us in welcoming Mike as we enjoy a local, sustainable, Italian-inspired meal!
