We would like to extend a very special thank you to all those who attended this past Thursday’s amazing Barolo and Barbaresco Abbondanza event. This was the largest, most well attended Abbondanza yet, and for good reason; we uncorked a ridiculous lineup of world class wines from Piedmont. It was our pleasure to host such a wonderful event, to see some of our great long term customer-friends, as well many new friendly faces. So, with Piemonte under our belts we look forward to next month’s Abbondanza, it will not disappoint. What’s the theme you ask…Tuscany! It too will be a truly epic lineup!
Missed the Piemonte Abbondanza, check out this post from one of the attendees - we couldn’t put it any better ourselves! http://balthassar.wordpress.com/

The Loire is distinguished among all other French wine regions for its dizzying diversity of wines. This can be attributed to the sheer size of the region, and the nearly two millenia of documented wine production history. Not to mention the countless changing cultural and political forces over history, whose conflict and confluence it would be impossible to explicate within the boundaries of this introduction. Read on for more and for tonight’s lineup…
What a treat it was to have the whole lineup open from Tenuta delle Terre Nere. It was fascinating to see how the wines seemed to come into focus over the course of several hours. Each showed their own charm, though there were a couple of pleasant surprises. The debut release of the “Cuvee delle Vigne Niche” really turned some heads in highlighting the Burgundian attributes of the carricante varietal. Another debut, from the recently purchased “Santo Spirito” vineyard, showed a youthful vibrancy and a promising future. The “Feudo di Mezzo” and “Prephylloxera” bottlings shared center stage, each wowing tasters with an acrobatic display of flavors and textures.
Australian Abbondanza: Wednesday, June 10th from 6pm to 8pmAs we started to prepare for a feature on Australia we couldn’t help but notice how many ridiculous deals there are on some seriously amazing Australian wines. We realized this was too big to fit in a regular Friday tasting, so we decided to go all out and throw one of our famous Abbondanzas! As many of you know, Kerri lived in Australia for two years and has the inside track on the incredible regional diversity this country has to offer. Fifteen wines will be available for tasting, showcasing classic producers, new kids on the block, wines with age and unexpected varietals.
This is your chance to taste some of Australia’s best! $10/person. Snacks will be served!

It was our great pleasure at The Wine Bottega to have Garth from our favorite local Meadery, Green River Ambrosia, join us this past Wednesday for our first ever Mead Fest! We met Garth a couple months ago while preparing for an event that featured local organic agriculturalists and international music. The Wine Bottega took part by pairing wines with local honeys and we serendipitously encountered Garth (the quintessential name for a mead brewmeister!). Boston has a great core group of mead enthusiasts and we at The Bottega had been searching for the best way to really dive into this ancient fermented brew. Green River Ambrosia is a three man operation located in Greenfield, Massachusetts, just a couple hours to our west.
