Returning to New York City’s state-of-the-art IAC Building, this unique walk-around wine tasting will showcase over 115 of the region’s most sought-after producers and premium boutique wineries. Each producer will be showing their top two wines, all of which were selected by wine critic James Suckling and rated 90 points or more. Wines rated 90 points or more by James Suckling are considered outstanding and an outstanding purchase. The event will feature 40+ wines given 95 points or more, which is considered a “must buy.”
Great Wines of Italy New York City gives oenophiles the opportunity to taste and learn directly from the winemakers themselves. Highlight vintages this year include: the new to the market 2012 Brunello di Montalcino, coined a “rockstar” vintage from Suckling, as well as 2013 Super Tuscans.
“Great Wines of Italy is the biggest Italian wine tasting event of the year! With all the wines rated 90 points or higher by James Suckling, it is certainly a “who’s who” event,” remarks Zachys Vice President Andrew McMurray. “Producers will be showcasing new releases, as well as wines not yet available in the market. Wines will span all of Italy, including Montalcino, Morellino, Bolgheri, Friuli, Apulia, Sicily, Chianti, the list goes on! Here’s your chance to meet and mingle with some of Italy’s most sought-after wineries and taste some fantastic wines… a truly invaluable experience.”
