Italian Wine Tasting at Rocca Kitchen & Bar

We know how confusing Italian wine can be, so that’s why we, at The Second Glass, have teamed up with Rocca Kitchen and Bar, in Boston’s South End, to teach you about these wines the best way possible: with food! You get six different wines with three tasty pairings of food and a whole lot of vino knowledge for only $30!

Montepulciano? Soave, Dolcetto, Barbaresco!?!? Don’t sweat it, after this Crash Course you’ll be a pro!

Second Glass President and Editor, Tyler Balliet, will be running the Course and walking you through the wines. We’ll even hook you up with an Italian cheat sheet and a copy of our Annual Wine Guide.

Buy your tickets today because there are only 35 seats available and these events tend to sell out fast! Rocca is a long time favorite spot of ours, check out the write up Tyler did on them last year.
