Italian White Wine Weekend

Most wine consumers are familiar with Pinot Grigio, the Italian white wine that has consistently been at or near the top of U.S. import lists for the past 15 years. As with other wine trends, however, the popularity of Pinot Grigio has cast something of a shadow over many other excellent Italian white wines – Soave, Vernaccia, Verdicchio, Orvieto, Vermentino, and Gavi, to name a few.

This coming weekend, the Colonial Spirits wine team plans to cast some light on the “other white wines of Italy” with a sale and tasting event. Starting at 9:00 am on Saturday and ending at 6:00 pm on Sunday, we will be offering a 20% discount on six or more bottles of every Italian white in the store. In addition, we have organized a Sunday tasting from 1:00 to 4:00 pm so customers can sample and learn about the refreshingly flavorful, food-friendly white wines from some of the Italy’s leading producers.
