***UPDATE****
 
Las Vegas, we are SOLD OUT for this wine tasting event! Taste & Learn has truly become a local favorite and these experiences are in high demand. Thank you for your support! We will be announcing more upcoming events showcasing the delicious flavors of Italy. Stay tuned! From time to time we have cancellations, if you would like to be placed on the waiting list please call 702.364.5300.

Buongiorno, Tutti.

 I’m pleased to announce our next Taste & Learn event will be held Thursday, Sept. 20, at 6 p.m. Please note the change to our typical day of the week. We’ve adjusted for this month only to accommodate the schedule of the representative from our featured winery, Umani Ronchi, which hails from the Marche and Abruzzo regions of Italy.

 Trust me when I say the change is worth it! Umani Ronchi is known for award-winning, high-quality wines such as its Verdicchio Vecchie Vigne and Pelago, both of which we will enjoy that evening. All this winery’s vineyards are farmed organically, a practice pursued by the vintners for technological rather than ideological reasons. Organic farming demands balance in nature and a range of crops, trees, and herbs to create a biodiverse environment, which ensures the vines produce the best fruit and, consequently, superior wines.

 Of course, our talented, award-winning Chef Francesco DiCaudo has created four tempting small plates to complement our spotlighted wines.  The full menu for September’s Taste & Learn will include:

 

Wine: Verdicchio, Castello dei Jesi, Vecchie Vigne, 2014

Dish: Crescia Sfoglia

Stuffed flatbread

 

Wine: Verdicchio, Castello dei Jesi, Plenio, 2012

Dish: Capesante

As I always say, don’t hesitate to make your reservation—Taste & Learn events always sell out! Reservations are a must and the cost is just $65 per person, inclusive of tax and gratuity. We look forward to welcoming you. Call us at (702) 364-5300 or click this link today. 

 

Salute!
