This Friday’s tasting will be a classic all Italian lineup with wines from Lazio, Campania, and The Piedmont. When in doubt, choose Italian, right? We will be going through a full gamut of styles and expressions, so come thirsty and eager.

Tasting wines from Italy and Spain!  I specifically wanted to look at wineries whose wines go against their regional expectations.  Having a flagship style of wine is crucial in today's world market to connect wine lovers to new regions, giving us points of reference upon which to learn and grow our wine knowledge.

I’m very lucky here at The Italian Market to get to meet people and taste wines from all over the world. I have a deep love for Italian wines, especially those made with Sangiovese. So it was wonderful to meet and taste with Alberto Passeri, agronomist and General Manager of the La Gerla wine estate in Tuscany.

The weekend is almost here, and that means another Free Friday Wine Tasting!  In my never ending pursuit to find the best wines for the people of Annapolis I have selected a bunch of new wines from excellent small producers for our tasting.  Rose and red wines from Chianti Classico, refined Sardinian Nuragus, and a chillable Aglianico from Campania will be on my table, ready and waiting to be shared.  I’ll see everyone this Friday!

In a world of Chateaus, Domaines, and Estates dominating our minds and directing our wallets, I wanted to shine a light on Wine Cooperatives (Co-ops).  These are wine businesses that are owned and operated by a collected group of grape growers, that produce and sell wines made from the grapes of their members.  These business can range in size from a small facility servicing just one town, to massive enterprises that encompass an entire region!
