The Ides of March
It is time for our annual Ides of March tasting!
While the "Ides" were merely the 15th day of each month, it was a fateful Ides of March, 44 BC, that Juilus Caesar was assassinated near the Theatre of Pompey. How apt! It was Caesar's defeat of Pompey in 48 BC that helped grant him unrivaled power, which led to his assassination by political rivals 4 years later.
In recognition of that fateful day, we will taste five wines from significant lands within the Roman Republic at the time of Caesar's death. Which lands, you ask?
- Terraconensis (near Tarragona, Spain)
- Asia (modern Turkey)
- Gaul (modern France)
- Syria (including modern Lebanon)
- Macedonia (northern Greece)
This tasting is part of our Global Vineyard Passport Series. This week Jill leads the guided tasting of five different wines.
Your $25 ticket entitles you to our 5-wine tasting plus light snacks, as well as 15% off your evening's bar tab.
