The sessions will take place at 10:00 am and 1:00 pm on both Saturday, March 13th, and Sunday, March 14th. Please rsvp to Lauren at (434) 244-3341 (or lweckerly@keswickvineyards.com) promptly to secure your spot, as the 1:00 sessions are already full for both days!
The cost is $10 for wine club members and $20 for non-members (although you'll probably be members by the end of the day if the wines are as good as Stephen says!).
Looking forward to seeing you there!

Lagrein
A famous varietal in the Trentino/Alto Adige area of northern Italy. Usually overproduced into making light reds with little character, there are versions that are worthy of the proper care they were given. Sumptuous, rich reds and perfumed rosés from Lagrein can be very good and will also improve with cellaring, sometimes lasting up to ten years. Black plums, fresh red cherries and alpine grass can be found in the better versions. Also grown with limited success in Australia.
