Wine Friday

Wines from The Vine Collective

Tonight, we'll focus on three wines from Italy with Kevin Russell from The Vine Collective who'll go behind the labels and share more wine and winemaker stories. Featured wine are always 10% off during the tasting unless otherwise discounted.

Wines featured this evening:

Venditti "Vandari" Falanghina 2010

Cantina Ericina Catarratto 2010

Cantina Ericina Grillo 2010… Grillo (also known as Riddu, meaning cricket) is one ofmany native Sicilian varieties leading a white wine revolution on the island. A traditional player used to produce Marsala, its characteristic aromatic elements include lime, jasmine, and lemongrass. Cantina Ericina’s Grillo emits these qualities, showing minerality – and a somewhat saline profile from proximity to the sea – along with a creamy, gentle texture. Curious about Italian whites? Want to drink in something individual, and respect Sicilian traditions? We think the Cantina Ericina does it well, offering value and a sense of place. The estate is in the process of becoming certified organic.

Cantina Ericina Nero d'Avola 2010
