Taste three wines as Jeremy shares three colorful readings from Italy’s oldest book on wine and Boccaccio’s Decameron. The event includes a guided tasting of three native Italian grape varieties (Garganega, Schiava, and Nebbiolo) that were popular during Boccaccio's time and are still widely enjoyed today.
Additionally, enjoy a special preview of the exhibition: “Beyond Boundaries: Historical Art By and Of People of Color”
All proceeds from the event will be donated to Animal Zone International, a Greek-based non-profit devoted to the sustainability of the environment through the protection and control of animals.
