Sommelier Wine Pairing Event:
Saturday, February 19, 1:00 PM
Coltivare Amphitheater,
$29 per person.
Georgian Wine On My Mind (and growing right here in the Finger Lakes!)
E!FLX presents this special event that features Finger Lakes wines made from ancient Georgian varietals.
The Georgian Republic, a country at the intersection of Europe and Asia in the Caucasus Mountains, is considered the oldest winemaking region in the world. Indigenous grapes have been cultivated there for 8000 years, with Rkatsiteli and Saperavi recognized as two of the oldest known grape varieties in the world
Over 50 years ago, because of their known cold weather resiliency, these were planted here in the Finger Lakes. Today, there is an increasingly growing regional interest in these varieties, resulting in more cultivated acres planted in the Finger Lakes than anywhere else in the world outside of Georgia.
Join sommelier Laura Winter Falk as she explores six Finger Lakes wines crafted from these ancient varietals by different FLX producers. Taste why there is some much excitement about these wines, discover their fascinating history and learn about their cultural traditions in winemaking . Each wine will also be paired with classic Georgian cuisine, prepared by Chama Mama restaurant from New York City.
This presentation is part of the Ithaca Loves Teachers celebration, but registration is open to all. Availability is very limited with only 20 tickets being sold.
