12th Annual Evening
of Traditional Beverages Vino Veneto
Vino Veneto celebrates the fifth
centenary of architect Andrea Palladio (1508–2008),
whose country villas inspired Homewood's design. Wine
enthusiast Bill Corace will discuss
winemaking in the Veneto, the vine-covered region of Italy
between Verona and Venice that produces more varieties of
wine than any other in Italy. Enjoy a sampling of four of
the region's most important wines—Prosecco,
Soave, Valpolicella, and Amarone—and hors
d'oeuvres provided by Donna's.
WYPR's Andy Bienstock will serve as
master of ceremonies.
