Tasting Notes
The initial impression is one of exceptional smoothness, blending vanilla, coffee, chocolate with the distinct but soft agave presence. This is followed by delicate citrus and smoky notes and cinnamon. A velvet gentle combination of sophistication and layered flavor notes. Aged over five years in Spanish brandy, sherry and scotch barrels, Tears delights and surprises tequila aficionados and is especially loved by single malt and craft bourbon drinkers.
Special Guests
Benvenuto Vini d’Italia
With Fred Magnotta & Marco Cuscito
Get ready to embark on an unforgettable Italian adventure with Benvenuto Vini d’Italia, an exclusive wine-tasting experience hosted by the passionate and knowledgeable duo, Fred Magnotta and Marco Cuscito. Fred, the visionary founder and importer behind F. Magnotta, LLC, and Marco, a proud representative of the esteemed Sasso di Sole winery, will take you on a journey through Italy’s rich winemaking heritage.
As you savor six meticulously hand-selected wines, Fred and Marco will regale you with captivating stories, personal anecdotes, and insights into the unique characteristics of each vintage. From the crisp and refreshing Pra Otto Soave Classico 2022 to the bold and complex Pra Morandina Amarone della Valpolicella 2017, every sip will transport you deeper into the heart of Italy’s vineyards.
Complementing the wines will be an exquisite spread of Italian meats, cheeses, and charcuterie, perfectly paired to enhance the flavors of each pour. With Fred and Marco as your enthusiastic guides, this journey promises not only to be informative but also filled with laughter, camaraderie, and, of course, exceptional wine and food.
Prepare for an experience that will linger in your memory long after the last glass is emptied. Buon viaggio!
