One of our most colorful and dynamic speakers will be in town for a Tasters Guild return engagement.

'NICOLA BISCARDO SELECTIONS, formerly CONEXPORT ITALY (Council for the export of prestigious Italian wines), was established in 1987 to internationally promote a line of high quality Italian wines produced by selected estates from the most notable regions of Italy. Nicola Biscardo Selections only associates with producers who have earned the highest respect among their peers and who consistently produce proven high quality products. Every winery is family owned and follows Organic, Biodynamic, or Sustainable farming, implementing very few interventions in wine-making to craft natural wines

'We specialize in "indigenous" varietals—grapes that are grown only is specific areas of Italy and not grown anywhere else in the world—because we believe that those wines are the only ones able to deliver unique flavors and elicit emotions.'

We'll have a new slate of Nicola Biscardo's selections and estate wines this round. Samples will be sent ahead to Chef/Proprietor Brandon Johns and staff for the purpose of menu inspiration. When the menu is ready, we'll post it on the VC website and email the membership
