Wines of Puglia at Cheney Mansion
What we wouldn’t give to be soaking in the Puglian sun, even in January with its 50-degree weather. Although the Greeks colonized this area in the 8th Century BCE, and are responsible for introducing what we now consider indigenous grapes (Negroamaro, for example), Puglian winemaking was well established before their arrival.
Join us as we take a tour of these sea and sun-soaked wines, which transport us to vacation with every sip. Light appetizers are included with your registration for this tasting event! Ages 21+
