Great Gifts for Wine Lovers - Italy
with special guest Laurence O. Vuelta

Saturday, December 10th
1:00 - 3:00
This Saturday will be the first of three tastings that will focus on wines that could make fantastic gifts for your wine loving family and friends. We'll take things up notch for these tastings, working with wines that go a bit above our standard selections both in quality and price. These are special wines for special people! To help us get started, we've invited the one, the only, Dr. LOV - Laurence O. Vuelta. Dr. LOV has been a long time part of the Hope Valley Wine family, and many tasting regulars have grown to know him well, and know that he always brings the goods! Laurence has picked four of his best wines from his portfolio at Sunrise Wines, and he will be with us to regale, educate and entertain you as we taste these great bottles. We'll start with a fantastic Cabernet Sauvignon from Breganze, just northeast of Verona in the Veneto Region. This Cab is very Bordeaux-esque in its styling, and is just as elegant as top selections from California or France. We'll then sample two Italian classics, looking at an amazing Barolo and a wonderful Amarone, both textbook examples of why wines of those style and terroir are so renowned. Finally we'll sample a gorgeous, vintage dated Lambrusco Bianco. The Rosé by this winery was a huge hit at our last tasting with Laurence, and this one is even better, and comes in packaging that is absolutely perfect for gift giving. Tasting with Laurence is always a fun, festive time, kind of like Elvis and Santa Claus merged to bring you delicious wines - you don't want to miss this!
