Wine Tasting Dinner: The Wines Of South America

Join us for the next in our series of wine tasting dinners, Travel the World of Wine, presented by seasoned wine and spirits consultant, former restaurateur, and all around bon vivant foodie extraordinaire Joseph M. Brandolo.
Focusing on the wines of South America, this evening will offer a unique approach to wine tasting and learning how to match foods and wines. We will experience the continent through a visual presentation of the land and then match five different wines with cuisine from their countries of origin, talking about the history and culture of the regions. We promise this will not be your stuffy wine facts presentation, but rather a true wine and food experience!
