First Friday Wine Class: Passito: Good Things Come to Those Who Dry
Advertisement
Who knew a little dehydration could lead to so much character? From bone-dry Amarone to lusciously sweet botrytized beauties and sun-dried dessert wines, grape drying is a trick winemakers around the world have been using for centuries. We’ll explore the techniques, traditions, and gloriously diverse styles that emerge when grapes lose a little water and gain a whole lot of personality. Raisins have never been this sophisticated.
$35 The Underground | $40 The Uninitiated
Join us for a memorable, educational night of wine with Kurt Guba, Vineyard Manager & Sommelier, alongside Jonathan Oakes, Head of Winemaking Operations at Freedom Run Winery ~ and you never know when Ryan Sidoti, Winemaker 'Emeritis' will show up too!
