About the event

This month marks our third year owning the best tasting room in the Santa Ynez Valley! In August of 2023, we purchased Taste of Santa Rita Hills and Moretti Wine Company from Antonio and Jeni Moretti. We're bringing them back for one day to celebrate and pour some of their and our favorite Italian wines. Please join us on Friday, August 21, from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm to catch up with Antonio and Jeni and taste through special pours from Antonio's homeland:


Terre Nere 2024 Etna Bianco Montalto Vigne Niche (Sicily)

Elena Walch 2024 Kristallberg Pinot Bianco (Alto Adige)

Il Carnasciale 2023 Ottantadue Sangiovese (Tuscany)

Fuligni 2021 Brunello di Montalcino or Costanti 2021 Brunello di Montalcino (Montalcino)

Trinoro 2023 Campo di Tenaglia Cab Franc (Val D'Orcia)

C. Boschis 2019 Barolo Mosconi or Massolino 2020 Barolo Parafada (Piedmont)


These Italian wines are a curation of favorites from our most recent trip to Italy, Michael's wine buying days at Zachys and some Italian producers featured on the Moretti's Italian tours. Some of these gems were directly imported for this event, meaning you'll be hard-pressed to find them anywhere else.


We hope to see you on Friday, August 21, for this Italian-inspired gathering with great wine, light snacks and old (or new!) friends. Reservations are required, as well as a $50 advance tasting fee ($30 for Club Members). For Club Members, we will automatically charge your card on file. For non-Club Members, we will contact you for payment details.
