Two Upcoming Wine Events
We have a couple exciting wine events to tell you about!
We're resuming our casual (and affordable!) tastings at
Marche with an array of really cool wines from Chile. With the euro/dollar conundrum making European value wines harder and harder to come
by, Chile is now one of the best places to find value wine that doesn't taste like value wine. They've been producing wine since the 16th century,
and the wines express a unique terroir that always seems incredibly fresh and verdant: a kind of wild elegance. Light hors d'oeuvres will be served
as well.
Chilean Wine Tasting
Wednesday January 30 @ Marche
5 - 7pm (come anytime within this time)
$10

Equally exciting is an Italian wine dinner to be held at
City
House restaurant! It's a first for both of us, and we couldn't be more
psyched
about the venue, the wines, and of course, the food. Not your standard pasta-and-red-sauce-plus-chianti type affair, we'll be focusing on the food
and wine of the Friuli region, in Italy's Northeast. The dinner will consist of three courses, each with various components and paired wines (6 total
+ a grappa shot!). We hope you'll join us!
First Course (served with Fantinel Prosecco, Borgo M Tocai, and Movia
Ribolla)
-- Jota: traditional soup of Friuli
-- House cured ham, horseradish, local greens
-- Montasio cheese, potato, onion frico
Second Course (served with Vespa Bianco, Brandolini Refosco, and
Brandolini Vistorta)
-- Anson Mills polenta, braised rabbit
-- Potato gnocchi, speck, parsley, brown butter
-- Warm salad of smoked trout
Third Course (served with grappa)
-- Gubana - fruit and nut-stuffed bread
Friuli Wine Dinner

Germantown)
