AWS Lone Star
The Wines of Italy Tasting
January 31, 2015
The Lone Star (TX) Chapter met on January 24th at Lantana Golf Club in Lantana, TX. The theme for the evening was “Wines of Italy”. Approximately 35 members and guests attended the tasting, hosted by Ramon Cueto, Judy Bortnem, and MaryAnne Cipperly. As is usual of tastings hosted by Ramon, the wines chosen were outstanding choices and their presentation was educational and energetic. Each attendee was provided with tasting notes of all of the wines, a map of Italy showing all of the great wine regions of the country and their primary varietals, as well as a brief history of the wines of Italy, regulations and DOC’s, and a listing of the primary varietals grown there. The wines presented were seemingly from all corners of Italy and ran the gamut from little to widely known. A buffet-style sit down dinner of lasagna, linguini alfredo, and salad coupled with good company topped the evening off. A great time was had by all.
