Elegant Aussies!
Monday, April 21
7:00 - 9:30 pm


With 2 decades of experience traveling and tasting throughout Australia and New Zealand in search of unique, site-specific, boutique wines, Robert has become identified with top-quality wine producers from Down Under. The importer's book represents wines that are food-compatible with balance, structure and elegance. This is an opposite style of many Australian wines, which frequently offer more flavor and oak than elegance and character. Please join us for this celebration of delicious, wonderfully made Australian wines, and meet an importer who dares to be different. Plenty of marvelous food will be prepared by Panzanella Chef, Chris Capron.

The cost of this event is $45 per person; space is limited, so reserve early. Please pay in advance and pick up a ticket for this tasting at either Panzanella (919.929.6626) or the customer service desk at Weaver Street Market in Carrboro (919.929.0010).

Wine Special
Colli della Murgia "Erbaceo"
Panzanella's current Wine Special is an Italian, organic, white from Puglia, way down south in the "heel of the boot". Made with Fiano Minutolo and Greco grapes, Erbaceo is straw-yellow in color with a pale green tint, and an aromatic, fruity-floral bouquet. The 2 founders, Franco Ventricelli and Francesco Valentino DiBenedetto produce new, unconventional wines. This was the first winery in the area to select Fiano Minutolo, a rare and ancient grape that had nearly become extinct. Erbaceo is fresh and dry, with generous fruit (noticeable pineapple) and an excellent balance of acidity. It pairs beautifully with our trout, scallops, or chicken dishes.
$7.00 by the glass
