An extra special tasting of exquisite Port Wines this Saturday
to assist with Matteo's Birthday
"Graham’s…the most consistent producer of great Port                                               in the post World War II era…"
Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, 1986
Graham’s wines come primarily from its own Quinta dos Malvedos, Quinta do Tua and Quinta das Lages in the Rio Torto. Two others, privately owned by a member of the Symington family, Quinta da Vila Velha and Quinta do Vale de Malhadas, also supply Graham’s with finest quality grapes. All five Quintas are among the best in the upper Douro valley. Graham’s also buys grapes from selected farmers in the finest districts. Some of these farmers have been selling their to Graham’s for generations.


Graham's Natura
Graham’s Natura is a Reserve Port produced from Symington owned organic vineyards at Quinta das Lages in the Rio Torto Valley & Vineyards in the Vale da Vilarica in Portugal’s Upper Douro Valley.
Situated at 150 and 350 meters above sea level, these vineyards benefit from well aerated and dry conditions, which in turn, allows each vine to develop their own natural defenses. Following organic cultivation guidelines and respecting the vineyard’s natural cycle, each vine finds its own yield level, producing smaller grapes with more concentrated fruits.

Grahams
10-Year, 20-Year, 30-Year
and 40-Year Tawny Ports
Graham’s Old Tawny Ports are made from wines of the very highest quality which, following careful selection, are matured in seasoned oak casks until their peak of maturity is reached. These are among the most demanding and challenging styles of Port to produce requiring great skill and years of experience from the winemaker and blender. It is essential to strike the correct balance between the delicacy and elegance which results from prolonged cask ageing while retaining the fruit quality which lends these old Tawnys their structure and longevity.

Saturday - we will taste:
 

Grahams Natura - $27.99

Grahams 10 year Tawny Port - $37.99

Grahams 20 year Tawny Port - $57.99

Grahams 30 year Tawny Port - $116.99

Grahams 40 year Tawny Port - $189.99

Cigars on the patio – weather permitting…

The Feast of the Assumption
August 14 - 17
Wine Tastings
All Four Days

 

THE FEAST - AUGUST 14 - 17 

From Thursday through Sunday, August 14th to August 17th Little Italy will be celebrating the 114th "Feast of the Assumption."

 

When Little Italy was settled, the community was centered on its beautiful church, Holy Rosary and its patron saint, the Virgin Mother. In the Roman Catholic religion, August 15th was the day Mary ascended into heaven. So for this grotto, the Feast of the Assumption is a very special day. As busy as Mayfield Road is, it is shut down for the four-day celebration in order to accommodate the crowds that come to add to this rich and beautiful tradition.

 

We at Little Italy Wines are very proud to participate in the celebration with our family, friends and great customers.

We will be having wine tastings Thursday through Sunday
Introducing two new wines exclusive to Little Italy Wines
Silvaggio Bianco (Pinot Grigio)
Silvaggio Rosso (Sangiovese)

On Thursday, we will be tasting Italian wines from 3:00 pm to closing
featuring Rafaelle Scettro from Tuscany Distributors

On Friday, beginning at 3:00 pm till closing - enjoy the day and evening
with great Italian wines featuring Erich Lasher
from Private Reserve Distributors

On Saturday, starting at 3:00 pm - a high end tasting of Italian wines including Amarone, Barbaresco, Brunello and Cabernet
featuring Rafaelle Scettro from Tuscany Distributors

On Sunday, we will start the tasting at 3:00 pm of another great selection of wines from Italy and Spain featuring
Christina Lakatos from Wine Trends.

Tastings on Thursday, Friday and Sunday are $10.00 per person. Saturdays tasting will be high end wines
and will be $25.00 per person ($40.00 per couple).
No reservations just come and enjoy! (Credit cards gladly accepted.)
