Wines of the World: Italy

Take a sommelier-led trip through the Italian countryside at this vino tasting. You'll learn about the country's winemaking traditions while sipping six varietals, including valpolicella from Verona, nero d'avola from Sicily and sangiovese from Lazio. Match the pours with gratis bites like Parmigiano-Reggiano and prosciutto di Parma, or order small plates such as eggplant bruschetta ($7) and grilled octopus ($12) for something more substantial.
