Wine Tasting 1-4pm Saturday, Sep 8


Your host is Gino Pisani of Angelini Wine. If you have never met Gino, you are missing out on quite a character. He adds fun and energy to any room he enters and his lively personality is infectious. We love to have him in for just that reason.

A couple of warnings... After tasting wine with Gino you will probably have a nickname (which by the way he will remember the next time he sees you), He will make you smile and perhaps laugh out loud, He will make a guess as to your heritage (likely the wrong guess unless you happen to be Austrian or Swiss, he likes those two). Stop in taste some wine and let Gino work his magic on you.
