We want to thank our loyal customers, and the hotel & staff of the Downtown Courtyard Burlington Marriott Harbor Hotel for the support of CSWC’s Annual Italian Direct Import Wine Tasting Event at the end of September.

For those of you who were unable to attend, the Burlington Harbor Marriott provided the perfect backdrop to showcase the 48 wines of Vias Imports, the most dynamic importer of fine wines of the Italian peninsula. The cheeses, meats and accoutrements paired beautifully with the plethora of wines and our guest speakers brought a tremendous educational component for many of our customers & friends.

Some of the highlights of the show on the high-end were the 2004 Brunelli from Argiano, La Poderina, Camigliano & Fossacolle; the two 2004 Baroli from Damilano, “Lecinquevigne” & “Cannubi” (not to mention the spectacular 1999 Riserva), the amazing whites and reds of Lucio Mastroberardino of Terredora di Paolo fame including the Taurasi Riserva “CampoRe”.

The values were even more plentiful, with a bevy of other wines from the Northwest, the Northeast, Tuscany & central Italy and the rich and hedonistic wines of the south & the islands starting at just $7.99 ( before our CSWC case discount of course ! )

With over 60 people in attendance, the evening was a huge success and we thank you again for your support and patronage. Again, for those who came to this gala event and placed their orders, the wines will be available for sale at our lowest prices of the year the third week of November as soon as our boat lands!

We look forward to hosting many other events in the future, both sit-down lecture style and walk-around, so keep tuned in and we’ll keep you posted!
