Come with us to Piemonte! As many of you already know we have a special relationship with the Grasso family that own Ca del Baio in Barbaresco. We are finally going to give the wines their due of a proper wine dinner with you and it will be hosted by our friend Valentina Grasso! Valentina is one of the daughters that now helps run the winery with her father, mother and sisters. This is a true family run operation!
I helped bring the wines here to NC (and South Carolina) after a visit to the estate in 2018 after discovering they were not in our market. To date, this has been one of the most successful brands we work with! The value here is very hard to beat! As prices have risen a lot for Barolo and Barbaresco (and just about everything else), our special relationship has kept prices in check!
This is your opportunity to taste some old favorites and some new wines you might not have had the chance to try yet! Valentina's personal project, the "Valentine" is a burgundy inspired Chardonnay that I had the pleasure to taste last year. We also will be adding their insanely delicious value Paolina Barbera! The Barbaresco's will be the 2021 Autinbej, 2021 Asili, and the Vallegrande 2019 Risereva! Lastly, we will finish in classic Piemontese form with the fresh and tasty Moscato d'Asti 101.
Price: Tickets for the dinner are $150 which includes the wine, gratuity and tax. Dinner will consist of a passed hors d'oeuvres to start, followed by 3 courses and a sweet finish. We'll process payment in advance of the dinner so all you have to do is show up and enjoy yourself.
*No refunds for any cancellations for any reason.
*Dietary Restrictions: The menu will be a set menu and we will make accommodations in advance for any dietary restrictions, please advise on any ASAP with your RSVP. We can not guarantee accommodating an allergy request if left to the last minute.
