What to expect
The session walks you through five distinct Sicilian wines in logical order, starting with lighter styles and building to fuller reds and sweet finishes. Each pour comes with regional cured meats and cheeses selected to complement the wine's character. You'll hear the thinking behind the shop's wine selections—why these producers, these vintages, these styles—rather than generic tasting notes. It's compact enough to fit a lunch break but structured enough to teach you something about how Sicilian food and wine fit together.
