Free In-Store Producer Tasting featuring: Giacomo Di Neri of Montalcino's Casanova di Neri Although a relative newcomer (it was founded in 1971), trendsetting Casanova di Neri Winery has become one of the most-respected wineries of Montalcino if not in Italy. This family-run cellar owes its success to a solid track record of powerful, luxuriant Brunellos and to the exclusive crus, Tenuta Nuova and Cerretalto. The wines of Casanova di Neri are renowned for their elegant, modern style and enjoy a steady flow of accolades from specialty magazines and contests the world over. In 2006, the Wine Spectator named their Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova 2001 the world's top wine, calling it "one of the best examples of the recent winemaking renaissance in Tuscany". The strength of the estate continues to lie in the fact that it is a family run concern by small numbers. Giacomo’s passion and expertise, together with 135 acres of vineyards distributed in the best areas of Montalcino, represent the ideal combination of producing wines with exceptional personality, uniqueness and recognizable characteristics.

After some cleaning, painting and other renovations, they opened the Old Schoolhouse Brewery. They didn’t have much interest in conquering the world and were happy to be a quiet little brewpub in a quiet little town, but fast-forward a couple of years and Old Schoolhouse is winning prestigious medals, like a Gold Medal at the 2010 North American Brewers Association (NABA) awards for their Hooligan Stout, and they have expanded their reach eastward into Maryland. Join us as we sample their award winning beers. |
