Barsotti Wines

Knowledgeable couple that imports amazing wines. They host regular wine dinners and tastings that are fun and informative.Their building is tucked away in an unusual location, but all together worth the search.Their tastings follow imaginative themes and explore reputable and deliciously complex wines.I have tasted terrific wines here, and have discovered many a bottle to purchase and take home.

these folks are wonderful! their business is wholesale, however, to get their name out there, they do wine dinners at area restaurants, & also do tastings on thursday evenings. it is your chance to try wines you might not get anywhere else, not even in a restaurant. make sure to let them know you're coming as the space is limited.every week you try 3 different wines with a different theme. this time it was zinfandels! we LOVE primitivos and zins! it's $12/person for the 3 pours. they are not big pours, but it is only $12. you get a little info about each 1 on a sheet of paper as well as what they say as they pour. if you'd like, for $10, they have a chacuterie plate made to match the wines. you can share it with someone, or you can get 2, & have your own little munch! guess what we do! hahahaha! so we started with a 2019 baglio al sole primitivo salento. it was new in it's taste, but still great. next was a 2017 crooked path zinfandel. delish factor going up! last was a 2016 guadagni 1906 block zinfandel. i could drink that all night. it was soooo smooth. the plates had grapes, dried figs, genoa salami, roast beef with champagne dill mustard & cornichon, bagel crisps, cashews, california dry jack cheese & new york sharp cheddar cheese. yeah, all of that for $10! & it's all locally sourced from the strip!afterwards, you get a chance to buy some of the wines you sampled. it's a good time, it's educational, & you get to surround yourself with wine!
