Vermouth, French Aperitif and Amari. We all know about the Aperol Spritz, but the category of "spritz" includes so many more unique flavors and combinations. Join us on our Rooftop to learn about the origin and history of the spitz cocktail with our Sommelier, Ruth Apruzesse-Welke. Taste through a variety of spritz components, then make your own creative cocktail. When you're done, you'll be confident when ordering your favorites and comfortable making spritz refreshments all summer long!
WINE BOOK CLUB & TASTING
Saturday, June 20 | 1:30 - 3:30 PM | $40
The Man Who Ate Too Much by John Birdsall
10 Tickets / 1 Cocktail, 1 Bubbles, 2 Whites
Light Bites / Special Bottle Pricing
Enjoy a lively discussion while you taste wine pours that pair with the book. Our June title is The Man Who Ate Too Much: The Life of James Beard by John Birdsall. Birdsall accomplishes what no prior telling of Beard’s life and work has done: He looks beyond the public image of the "Dean of American Cookery" to give voice to the gourmet’s complex, queer life and, in the process, illuminates the history of American food in the twentieth century. Even if you don't read the book before hand, this will be a fun afternoon of community, conversation and of course, wine!
Copies of the book are available at Flyleaf for purchase (not included in ticket cost). Call to reserve a copy, or just stop by!
