The major wine growing regions of Italy such as Tuscany, Piedmont and Campania
often overshadow other wine growing regions that feature their own unique
varietals or different expressions of more common varietals found in Italy.

Situated between Piedmont and Veneto, and bordered by Switzerland to the
north, is the picturesque region of Lombardia. Famous for its fashion capital of
Milan and the stunning lakes of Como, Maggiore and Garda, Lombardia is also
an important and dynamic wine growing region, featuring the three areas of
Franciacorta, Oltrepo Pavese and Valtellina. The wines are often more elegant,
fresh and refined than one expects of Italian wine and reflect the unique “terroir”
of the region.

We are excited to host our first wine dinner of 2012 and welcome Nicola Morosini
Of Harvest Importing. Nicola is a native of Lombardia and the only dedicated
importer of the region’s wines. Chef Jon will present a dinner menu that will pair
perfectly with the wines, including typical cheeses of the region.

Please join us for a truly fun evening of food and wine.

Cost: $80 pp
CWC Members: $72
