Live Via Zoom
That true winter chill in the air makes many of us want to cozy up with a thought-provoking glass of red wine. 

To that end, Wine Wisdom February will explore the iconic black grapes of Northern Italy and the lush and/or intense red wines that they produce. I couldn’t restrict this Wine Wisdom to only 2 wines per week (too many grapes, too little time!) so I’ve expanded our selection to 3 wines per week. 

We’ll start in North Western Italy, tasting Dolcetto, Barbera, and Lambrusco. In the second week, we’ll add the blockbuster Nebbiolos of Piemonte from Barbaresco, Barolo, and Alto Piemonte. In the final week, we’ll travel to North Eastern Italy to taste the wines of the Veneto, comparing Valpolicella, Valpolicella Ripasso, and Amarone all from the same excellent producer. 

We will still offer the full-sized option, which will include a gift certificate to from Barrel Thief in Richmond for the 9 wines (shipping is available), but if you’d prefer to keep the cost or the quantity down, we’ll have you covered with both single and double sizes of our sample kits. Delivery to Charlottesville will be available. 

Full Bottles: 3 online sessions, plus a downloadable recording of each, and a gift certificate to Barrel Thief wine redeemable for the 9-bottle package: $375

Single Samples: 3 online sessions, plus a downloadable recording of each, and 9 two-ounce samples $95

Double Samples: 3 online sessions, plus a downloadable recording of each, and 18 two-ounce samples $180
