On Thursday, May 1st, from 5p – 9p, the Barrel Thief Wine & Whiskey Bar will feature two fine Italian wines for tasting, and attendees can meet the makers and the distributor. This special tasting will showcase the wines of Antonio Sasa and the Boeri Family – with Sasa and Giorgio Boeri in attendance along with a representative of the distributor Boutique Imports.
Come learn about these fantastic, small-production wines, hear insights into the wineries, the families that make them and the traditions they represent. Owner/curator of Enoteca Pontevecchio Wine Shop, in Florence, Italy, Sasa is a man of the soil. His love for wine and food started early on his family’s farm, as he lived close to nature and developed a great respect for the growing process. The Boeri Wine Estate started in 1900 when Alfonso Boeri, the great-grandfather of the current owners, began growing vines. With a passion for wine-making passed down through each generation, Boeri winemakers have a reputation for excellence and a commitment to the natural elements of wine-making.
The Barrel Thief has carried both Sasa and Boeri wines since last year, and both are extremely popular. This tasting – for those 21+ – will be free, and include light appetizers. A special flight of library or premium wines will also be available for a small fee. All Sasa and Boeri wines will be available for purchase by the glass or bottle. Please join in this unique opportunity to meet the makers!
