About this Event

Our expert Italian buyer, Andrew McMurray, has jet set to Italy to discover the hottest new releases from the boot. As he pours through the acclaimed Italian appellations of Montalcino, Bolgheri, and Barolo- he's on a mission to bring back what has been tasted and reviewed as the best of their vintage. What’s been sampled “en primeur” will be shared with you- including a bottle or two of the not-yet released 2022 Sassicaia. You will be as shaken as critics and experts alike by the electric new vintage of Barolo 2021. Your first “primeur” taste awaits- and you will not soon forget it.

Join us in our store March, 1st to savor firsthand these hot, not-yet released bottles from across the Atlantic, as tasted by Andrew. Savor the “depth and ripeness” of the 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino, the “consistency and quality” of Brunello Di Montalcino Riserva from the “remarkable” 2019 vintage and be one of the first to taste 99-point Saffredi Le Pupille 2022. A personal highlight- and critics like Monica Larner of The Wine Advocate will agree- is a first taste of nearly 25 bottles of the outstanding 2021 Barolo. In a 30-year long career, this is the Barolo vintage that has left our expert speechless, as it will you. Top producers Einaudi, Produttori Del Barbaresco, Vietti, Vajra, and Damilano will be among some of the many poured of this instant classic Barolo. Collector’s will rejoice to learn that the “excellent vintage has the fruit intensity, acidity and tannic structure to withstand long cellar aging." Add the bottles tasted to your wish list and reserve the “best since the start of the new millennium.”

Skip the flight to Europe and bring the Bolgheri & The Tuscan Coast to you. Andrew will be your American guide trough Italy’s terroir, as you expand your palate with the boldest new flavors.
