Lately we have been doing our wine dinners on Saturday nights and occasionally on Fridays.  This one is on a Thursday just because that’s the way it worked out with all involved.  I hope you will be able to attend even though it is a work night for many people.  These wines are excellent and Mike has offered to write a note to each of your bosses if you find it difficult to go to work on Friday (Mike’s nice like that).

“Feudi was founded by husband-and-wife team Enzo Ercolino and Mirella Capaldo in the mid-1980s. Over the past two decades it has won over both wine classicists and modernists by taking novel approaches to the region’s unique volcanic terroir while still respecting the essence of indigenous grape varieties like Fiano, Aglianico and Greco di Tufo. These days, the ever-expanding winery in the village of Sorbo Serpico offers a wide range of excellent white, red and sparkling wines and is one of the region’s best-loved brands”(cellartours.com)
