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 8^th 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 2^nd 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!
