Ever wondered why some people swear by wines from one region while others have their favorites from somewhere else? It’s all about climate! Grapes are pretty particular, and their ideal growing conditions can make a big difference.

In cooler climates, you get:

• Less ripe fruit with tangy, bright flavors
• Higher acidity and lower sugar
• Lower alcohol, making for a lighter body

In warmer climates, you’ll find:

• Riper, sweeter fruit flavors
• Lower acidity and higher sugar
• Higher alcohol, leading to a fuller body

But that’s just scratching the surface! Our Beverage Director extraordinaire, Kyle O'Neill, is ready to dive deep into how different climates—cool vs. warm, continental vs. Mediterranean—shape the unique characteristics of wines.

Join us for an evening featuring:

• 1 cool climate wine
• 1 maritime climate wine
• 1 continental climate wine
• 1 warm or Mediterranean climate wine

All paired with stuzzichini and family-style pasta.
