About this Event
The Wandering Vine is a travel book that rambles through modern vineyards and ancient ruins from England to Italy via France and Spain. It is easier than you might think to share a drink with the dead: wine dissolves all boundaries, enabling us to travel – to ancient Rome or medieval Burgundy or 1980s England – in the time it takes to raise a glass. Join me for a meander through times and places and bottles, as I revive long-forgotten vinous stories in an attempt to bring my own past, and the vine's, back to life.
All wine book club books can be purchased at the local book shop - Old Town Books! So, help us support an Alexandria small-business and pick up Adventures on the Wine Route at Old Town Books before joining us for the tasting!
At this tasting, we will discuss the stories and histories told in the book while tasting the wines made in the regions explored.
Included with your ticket:
- Seated wine class with Neighborhood Restaurant Group Wine Director, Erin Dudley
- Tasting of six wine styles featured in The Wandering Vine
- Small serving of artisanal cheese to accompany your tasting
- Discounts on bottle purchases of all wines tasted
** While we absolutely recommend reading this fantastic book, this tasting will not require the reading beforehand. These stories will be summarized with the tastings **
