AWS Meadowlands NJ Chapter October
14, 2022 Meeting
Italians Wine Part 2
The American Wine Society
Meadowlands Chapter is hosting a wine tasting meeting on Friday October 14,
2022 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. It will take
place at the award-winning wine school, Make Wine with Us,
located at 21 Currie Avenue, Wallington, NJ.
“It started with the Greeks”. In the 8th
century the Greeks brought grape vines to Italy and the rest as they say is
history. Italy has been making wine for
over 2800 years. With 20 wine regions, and over 500 documented different kinds
of grapes in circulation, and with a total number of over 2000 grape varieties,
Italy certainly has earned the title of “Land of the Grapevines”. To say that wine has not be at the center of
life in Italy, would be an understatement.
Find a picture of an Italian dinner without wine on the table, go ahead
I dare you.
Italy is the top country in
wine production in the world bar none, the country with the 2nd most
is France but they are behind Italy by over 600,000 liters.
So, grab your glass, it’s
time to enjoy a trip to the Italian Vineyards with a sampling of regional wines
this month as we celebrate regional wines of Italy with "Mamma Mia......... Questo è un sacco di vino part du"! “Mamma Mia………That’s a lot of
wine part 2”!
To try and sample all of the
regions of Italian wines is impossible, but we are sure going to have fun trying.
Our very own Damon Falcone,
newly AWS certified wine judge; will guide once again through another region of
Italy, tasting and sharing his knowledge and personal experience from his many
trips to his home land Italy in this class.
Damon, if you missed him the first time you don’t want to miss this one
as he will delight us all with his quick wit, smile and details of his love of
wine. Yea he is pretty cool too!
We will sample various
varietals and Damon will guide us as we taste and compare the regions. This will prove to be a wonderful evening of Italian
wines; Magnifico!
