So here we are, in March again. March at Casa di Vino means Syrah. For the 5th Annual March CdV celebrates Syrah, Sirah (Petite) & Shiraz. Yes, petite sirah IS a differnet grape but many of the chracteristics are the same. Bold, rich and spicy, they both play well together. For the record (as has been stated before), Syrah is probably this Wine and Food Guy's favorite grape. Old World styles are perfect accompaniments to many foods. New world styles can be big, bold & brassy and drunk by themselves or paired with many dishes. To taste the wide variety of styles these grapes have to offer CDV will hold two tastings this month.
Tuesday, March 8 from 5-7 PM Casa di Vino features "The Northern Hemisphere" focusing on wines
from North America & Europe.
***Thursday*** March 24 from 5-7 PM CDV will pour "The Southern Hemisphere". Wines from South
America, South Africa, Australia & New Zealand will be the stars.
Lastly, Casa di Vino is now taking reservations for our Wednesday, April 16 "Introduction to Wine" class.
Join us as we help to foster an appreciation of wine for the beginner. Seating is $25 per person and reservations are required. Please contact CDV for details.
