Join the Italian Cultural Center for the first annual Wine Showdown, a lively tasting event that is part of our 20th anniversary celebration year, bringing together great wine, spirited regional pride, and a little friendly competition. For this special evening, two expert guides will go head-to-head in a showcase of Italy’s extraordinary wine culture. Five wines from Central-North Italy will face off against five wines from Central-South Italy in a fun and engaging format filled with tasting, storytelling, comparison, and conversation. Along the way, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the range and character of Italian wines. This is not just a wine tasting. It is a chance to experience Italy in a dynamic and memorable way, as our two presenters make the case for their regions, pour by pour. Guests will enjoy tasting pours of all ten wines, light bites, and the opportunity to cast their votes to help decide the winner of this first annual extravaganza. Whether you are a dedicated wine enthusiast or simply love Italy and a festive evening out, this promises to be a joyful and distinctive celebration of ICC’s 20th anniversary year.
