curiosity by the glass | rare wines night
Hosted by Owner and Sommelier Christopher Lucchese in collaboration with the Coravin Guide, this special tasting showcases exceptional bottles that are rarely, if ever, poured by the glass. Thanks to Coravin, guests will experience these remarkable wines while preserving their integrity. For this intimate, sommelier-led tasting, we will explore a lineup of curious and lesser-known varietals from across the globe, wines that tell stories seldom shared beyond their native regions. Ever heard of Durello? Galego Dourado? Vitovska? Neither had Chris, until Coravin challenged him to discover them. Included in the evening: 🍷 Guided tasting of rare and esoteric wines 🍽 Seasonal bites thoughtfully paired by Chef Frank Saporito 🗺 Stories, history, and a deep dive into unique grapes and terroirs Expect an evening filled with discovery, great conversation, and a shared passion for wine, history, food, and community, plus a touch of Chris’s well-known love for maps.
