Aperitivo Italiano – Exploring “Italian Mountain Wines”

June 27, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Summertime Fun from High Altitude Vineyards

What is the meaning of “Aperitivo Italiano”? An aperitivo (or apéritif) is often described as being similar to the American happy hour, but in reality, it’s much more than that. An Aperitivo is joyous and mood-lifting, it relaxes you after a day of work or prepares you for the night to come. Aperitivo, with its cheerful yet elegant nature, is a staple in Italy and has been getting more and more appreciated around the world.

Join us on Tuesday, June 27, 2023 at 7 p.m. at the Milford House to taste four great Italian Mountain Wines accompanied by Italian style small bites.

About the presenter:

Giorgio “George” Caflisch is proud to be both Italian and American. A long-time member of the ICCC, he has been passionate about wine for longer than he would like to admit. He is a Certified Sommelier, an instructor at the Texas Wine School and a co-founder of VinSanto, a new wine bar, shop and bistro in Memorial Green. Caflisch has been certified as an Italian Wine Educator and an Italian Wine Ambassador by the Vinitaly International Academy in Verona, Italy, and an Italian Wine Scholar by the International Wine Scholar Guild. With interests beyond Italy, Giorgio has volunteered as a judge at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Uncorked International Wine Competition since 2011.
