A
wine registry is a great idea for the couple who has it all.
It's a chance to stock up on varietals you can drink every
day, and select vintages to save and enjoy on special occasions.
But even dedicated wine drinkers may find the task a bit daunting.
New York City's Italian Wine Merchants, owned by Sergio Esposito,
celebrity chef Mario Batali, and James Beard Award-winning
wine expert Joe Bastianich, offers this solution: spend an
evening in its private vintage room with one of IWM's sommeliers
who will guide you through a series of tastings. In addition
to the five or eight bottles of wine that may be sampled,
guests of the vintage room also enjoy a selection of antipasti
from the on-site salumeria to complement the tastings. At
evening's end, you will have gained wine smarts as well as
a registry with the makings of a stellar cellar. |
