Wines of Piedmont Class - Saturday, February 28

Everyone at WSA is looking forward to our upcoming Wines of Piedmont Class scheduled for next Saturday, February 28.  The class will be taught by Darryl Joannides, owner of cork: a bottle shop and formerly chef/owner of Assagio Restaurant.  

Class Description: 
Piedmont's rolling hillsides, nestled at the base of the Alps, provide ideal growing conditions for some of the world's most prestigious wines.  The variations in slope, aspect and soil found in these hills support a broad range of grape varieties and wine styles.  The most famous wines of Piedmont are certainly the elegant and age-worthy Nebbiolo-based wines of Barolo and Barbaresco, but the region supports other charming and distinctive varieties as well including Barbera, Dolcetto, Freisa, and Grignolino.

This class is part of our International Wine Passport Series, so sign up for one of our "frequent flyer programs" and save!
