NJ Wine Bar Announces Winter Wine and Food Symposiums

Undici Restaurant in NJ announces their winter schedule of Italian regional wine and food symposiums, Accademia del Vino.  Undici carries over 700 premier wine labels which has earned them a coveted Wine Spectator ‘Best of Award of Excellence’.  Guests of the symposiums will have a chance to sample some of these wines and learn more about their origin.

The Accademia Del Vino classes will consist of dinner, lecture and wine tasting. Each class is $39.00 plus tax and 10% gratuity.  There are 8 dates lined up for the winter session:

• Lecture 15: February 15 or 16 – The Wines of Toscana 1
• Lecture 16:March 1 or 2 – The Wines of Toscana Chianti
• Lecture 17:March 15 or 16 – The Wines of Sicily
• Lecture 18: March 29 or 30 - The Wines of Sardegna
• Lecture 19:April 19 or 20 – The Wines of Piemonte
• Lecture 20:May 3 or 4 - The Wines of Campania
• Lecture 21:May 17 or 18 – The Wines of North East Italy, Three Venices
• Lecture 22:June 14 or 15 – The Wines of Puglia, Calabria, Basilicatia

Undici’s wine menu is 100% all Italian and hand selected by owner Victor Rallo.  During the course of the year, Rallo makes several trips to Italy to sample wines and bring back the finest selections to his famed NJ wine bar.  The most recent addition to Undici’s wine list is a prized red Ripasso Valpolicella.  “It has the power of Amarone and the grace of Valpolicella,” says Mr. Rallo.  “It is made from Corvina and Rondinella grapes.  These are two important varietals, very local, very Italian.  My wine is aged for at least 18 months in large oak casks, also very traditionally Italian.”
