June 1 marks important wine tasting
These events are always fun. All you have to do is RSVP and you are plugged in to the club.
Italian winemaker Albino Rocca will host the Dilly Deli's upcoming Thursday, June 1, wine tasting. The Dilly Deli, located at The Strand next to Starbucks and Sara Benjamin's, has made a name for themselves as one of the best bars in America and for their regular wine tasting gatherings.
According to the owners, in the northwest of Italy there is a place known as Piedmont which is teeming with great wines and great producers. "Albino Rocca is among the top 1 percent and he is coming here to show us how great his wines are," owner Robbie Warinner said.
Rocca is famous for his Barbaresco wines, because Barbaresco is deemed "important" by the wine press, however this causes the pundits to miss his other wines.
"That is a shame, as he is highly esteemed by his peers and Italian wine aficianados for outstanding wines made from Barbera, Chardonnay, and Cortese, as well as a fabulous Rosso that has no business being as cheap as it is," Warinner said.
The tasting costs $25, and gets you plenty of food, and will run from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30p.m. Call 871-4825 or send an e-mail to reserve your spot.
