This interesting, fun class will examine how bodies of water fundamentally influence wines, with focus on wines from Sicily and Greece.
About this Event

In many cases bodies of water are a fundamental influencing factor in a particular wine’s ability to achieve great balance. These bodies of water have a moderating effect on the climates of these regions. This results in a generally milder climate which shows fewer temperature extremes and a generally smaller temperature range.

Sicily is like a small continent surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea. Its dry, warm climate features regular sunshine and moderate rainfall that suits wine production. Arid conditions reduce the chance of rot and mildew, especially in areas kissed with coastal breezes.

With over 6,000 years of wine history, Greece has a diverse landscape which includes arid rocky soil to warm salty sea air. The diversity of the wine regions of Greece has allowed Greece to produce wines with distinct character as well as delicate flavors.

Wines to be tasted include:

  • 2022 Santo Winery Santorino Assyrtiko (Greece)
  • 2022 Zoe White (Greece)
  • 2022 Murgo Etna Biano (Sicily)
  • 2022 Valle Dell’Acate Il Frappato (Sicily)
  • 2020 Alpha Estate Xinomavro Single Vineyard Hedgehog (Greece)

Laura Elder, Sales Manager for Skurnik Wine & Spirits, will host this class.

Space is limited, so don't wait to register.

Registration costs $10, but all attendees will receive a $10 voucher to use at the store the day of the event! Light snacks from Premier Gourmet will also be served, and attendees will receive some tasting notes on the items they're sampling.
