Ciao Amici We’ve got some exciting news! We’re doing something NEW in March at our San Jose location. You know how we feature a Winery of the Month (at BOTH of our locations), offering a selection of their wines by the glass and in a special flight? Well, in March (at our San Jose location only), not only are we going to feature 3 wines from Azienda Agricola Poggio, a family-owned producer in Piedmont, but we’re also going to feature some small bites from the same region! Now, not only can you taste the wines of a certain region of Italy, you can taste them with some regional dishes! That’s right, you can get the “full experience!” It’s like taking a quick trip to Italy! In order to “kick things off,” we’re doing a hosted tasting of the featured Poggio wines and the regional small bites from Piedmont.

FEATURED WINES of A.A. Poggio

2018 “Bateaux” Chardonnay DOC

2017 “Croja” Barbera d’Asti DOCG

2018 “Solilu” Moscato d’Asti DOCG

Ciao Amici! SAVE THE DATE for our annual Tour of Italy Tasting!

Once again, we have partnered with our good friends, Marc and Paula Levitt of Girasole Imports to put together a selection of some of the best wines the Boot has to offer! You like Barolo? We got Barolo! Prefer Prosecco? We got Prosecco! Crazy for Chianti? We got Chianti! In fact, we’ll be pouring wines with broad regional diversity and in EVERY style imaginable. They’ll be wines you know and love as well as many wines that may not be as familiar to you, but that are just as delicious and worthy of your attention. They’ll be wines that will be perfect partners for your weekday meals and some that will make wonderful additions to your cellar. Most of these wines are made by family-owned, quality-driven producers whose passion and commitment shine through in the their wines and make them very special, regardless of price.

Experience how wine industry professionals pick their wines and do it with industry treasure and trend setting distributor, Kermit Lynch Wine Merchants. In 1972, with a $5,000 loan and maybe a bit of gumption, he opened Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant with thirty-five cases of wine stacked on the floor. Enamored of the Old World wine cultures of Europe, he became a retailer, distributor, and national importer for authentic wines that express their terroir. He has had so much success shining the spotlight on small, artisan producers that he has won two James Beard awards and was knighted by the French government with their prestigious “Legion d’Honneur.” 

Kermit Lynch's name on a wine label is a virtual stamp of guaranteed quality. That's why we've been fans of his wines since the day we got into the wine business. We are proud and honored to be able to offer you this wonderful opportunity to taste such a large selection of his current releases.

A complimentary “palate cleanser” will be provided at the tasting tables; full restaurant menu will be available for ordering.

ONLINE TICKET SALES HAVE BEEN CLOSED. A VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF TICKETS WILL BE AVAILABLE ONSITE.
