Ciao!  Many of you know Jody as a Taylor's Wine Shop store tasting staple, gracing us with his entertaining knowledge of Italian wines.  We've decided to kick it up a notch with this superb collaboration.  Our first Small Vineyards Italian dinner at Encore!
All of the wines in Jody's portfolio have to meet the following criteria:
Single Estate
Picked by Hand
Sustainably Farmed
Artisinal in Production
Family Operated

    The Small Vineyards wines that we have chosen for this dinner are screaming with quality and value.  Beautifully made examples of wines from that Mediterranean region of our world.  

    Enjoy Small!

    We consider ourselves lucky to be friends with the extremely talented Chef John Scarangella and his wife Carol, who own Northside Bistro and Encore Ristorante.  Chef John will delight you with a beautifully paired and scrumptious five course dinner to complement these wines:

    Cantine Maudado Nerello Mascalese NV Brut, Sicily
    Edi Simcic Duet, Slovenia
    Curto La Foia Barolo, Piedmont
    Martoccia di Luca Brunelli Brunello di Montalcino, Tuscany
    Monte Tondo Amarone, Veneto

    Tickets Non-Refundable 7 days in advance.
