<a id="Solare-Terlano-Wine-Dinner"></a>Solare Italian Wine Dinner - "An Evening in Alto Adige"

June 08 - Solare Italian Wine Dinner – “An Evening in Alto Adige”

 

Solare Italian Wine Dinner – “An Evening in Alto Adige” Wednesday, June 8.

Come join me as we enjoy the wines of Terlano Winery – one of the most prestigious producers in this historic region.

RSVP today by calling 619-270-9670 or emailing us by clicking here.

We visited this winery and the Alto Adige region in April.  This region has long been a favorite of the team here at Solare – and what we saw and tasted there far exceeded our (already high) expectations.

Founded in 1893, Terlano Winery is located in the extreme northeast of Italy along the Austrian border. The vineyards are on a gorgeous slope of a valley formed by a glacier in the last ice age, and the area was first settled in pre-Roman times. 

Alto Adige has been known for incredible wines for hundreds of years. During the evening, we are pouring their “Vorberg” Pinot Bianco from 3,000-foot-high vineyards and their delicious “Monticol” Reserve Pinot Noir.  

Wine Dinner Details:

  • June 8, Wednesday
  • 6:30pm Reception and 6:45pm Dinner
  • $88 includes the 4-course pairing dinner and 5 select Terlano wines
  • Request seating indoors or outdoors on our heated patios
  • Everyone has their own table
  • Reserve your table asap – very limited seating

RSVP by calling 619-270-9670 or clicking here to send us an email.

Hope to see you here!

Renato Ratti Estate was founded over 50 years and is absolutely one of the top names in Barolo.  They grow and produce wine from some of the best crus in Barolo.   In fact, The name “Renato Ratti” is directly tied to the evolution and ultimate success of modern Barolo. It was his idea to introduce the “cru” concept to the Barolo/Langhe district.

These Barolo wines from Piemonte are textbook classic wines, and having this owner and winemaker of one of the best estates join the dinner is very special.   We will be enjoying Pietro’s wines with a Solare 4-course pairing menu.    We will be pouring select Renato Ratti wines including the Renato Ratti Rocche dell’Annunziata Barolo.

Pietro will let us know firsthand what is happening right now in Barolo and Piemonte. Pietro is very engaging and charismatic, and you will really like getting to know him.
