Taste the Wines of Italy & Austria—With a Little Help From Home!

Hello Peter, This weekend, we’re taking a delicious trip to Italy and Austria, and we have two very special guides along for the journey. On Friday, Fabio, who is from Italy, will be pouring a lineup of Italian wines alongside two hazy, hop-forward craft beers. Then on Saturday, Klaus, our Austrian wine expert, will take us through a selection of wines from his home country. There’s something extra special about tasting wines with someone who knows the country, culture, and wine traditions firsthand. Join us Friday and Saturday, meet the people behind the pours, and discover some new favorites along the way! Both tastings are free and open to everyone—no reservations needed. Stop by, taste something new, and let Fabio and Klaus bring a little bit of their home to The Wine Cabinet!
