Cal-Ital Wine Showdown
Friday November 21, 2025 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Italy has long been known as ‘Enotria’, the land of wine, boasting millennia of grape growing with over 400 grape varieties currently in production.
California has firmly & established itself as an undisputed premier wine-growing region.
Italian Immigrants have been at the helm, showcasing world-class wines, planting vineyards & making wines since the 1800’s. A recent resurgence of Italian viticulturists have embraced more indigenous – or native – Italian grapes, planting them in California microclimates similar to their home regions in Italy.
This full circle has inspired the palette of many wine drinkers in the last few years, including Italian Wine Educator & Sommelier Thera Clark, and California Wine Specialist, Educator, and native Californian Anthony Velasquez.
In the 3rd class of this series (and the tie-breaker), they will go head to head and grape to grape in your glass to reveal what Italian wines are from the old country, and which are shining bright in sunny California.
Menu
Enjoy a blind flight of 6 wines alongside a pairing plate by Chef Pamela Cecere.
