The event in May was such a hit that Nancy DiGiorgio, co-owner of the Campania Cafe Italian Restaurant and Gourmet market, a cozy restaurant in the heart of Davidson, wants our group back for the tasting in June. Ciro has promised to try to serve wines exclusively from Sicily this time. For those who were unable to attend the May event, I encourage you to read the comments from it. You will definitely want to be there in June! RSVP at www.lknwinegroup.com I am happy to give our group the opportunity to try some truly excellent, but relatively inexpensive ($15-$30 a bottle) wines. The price for the event is $15, payable when you arrive, and in addition to the 5 wines served, a small individual appetizer tray with olives, salamis, bruschetta, and other assorted goodies will be served for each participant. The event is hosted by Mr. Ciro Marino. Directions: From I-77 take exit 28 at Cornelius and go east (away from the lake) on Catawba Ave towards Old Statesville Rd. Catawba Ave ends at Old Statesville Rd. Turn left onto Old Statesville Rd and go about 0.6 miles and Campania Cafe will be on the left. I have been to three of the tastings at this restaurant and I can tell you Ciro brings extensive knowledge and understanding of Italian wine making to the event, but not to the point where a wine novice like myself feels overwhelmed. The wines being served are not found at Total Wine or in grocery stores, you'll want to purchase bottles and take them home for later enjoyment, as many of our attendees at the May event did! “ I will have my name tag on and be filling out name tags for others. ”Italian Wine Tasting at Campania Cafe
