Wine School June 25th: Italy Part 3: Central Italy

In this third installment of our Italy wine series, we’ll journey through the rolling hills and historic vineyards of Central Italy, the heartland of some of the country’s most iconic and time-honored wines. In this class, we’ll take a deep dive into the diverse regions that make up Central Italy’s wine landscape—most notably Tuscany, Umbria, and Abruzzo.

You’ll explore the iconic reds of Tuscany, including Chianti Classico, and uncover why Sangiovese reigns supreme in this region. We’ll also taste the structured, food-friendly reds of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, along with a bright, expressive Vermentino that showcases Central Italy’s potential for fresh, aromatic white wines.

Alongside the wines, we’ll discuss the role of climate, elevation, and soil, from the sun-drenched vineyards of Chianti’s hillsides to the clay and limestone-rich terrains of central Umbria, and how these elements influence the structure, acidity, and aging potential of the wines.

This is the third stop on our four-part journey through Italy’s iconic wine regions, and Central Italy brings the perfect mix of history, variety, and bold personality to the glass. Whether you’ve been with us from the start or you’re just jumping in, this class promises delicious discoveries and plenty of memorable pours.

In the fourth and final class of our Italian wine series, we journey to the sun-soaked landscapes of Southern Italy, a region bursting with bold flavors, ancient traditions, and some of the most exciting wines in the country. From the rugged hills and coastal vineyards of Campania to the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna, Southern Italy offers a world of expressive, terroir-driven wines just waiting to be discovered.

In this class, you’ll taste your way through deep, powerful reds made from Aglianico, crisp and aromatic whites like Fiano, and unique, mineral-laced wines born from Sicily’s volcanic soils. We’ll explore how geography, elevation, and climate—especially the influence of the sea and active volcanoes—contribute to the structure and character of these distinct wines.

This is the perfect class for anyone who enjoyed our Island Vibes flight from the Quarter 2 menu, as we’ll dive even deeper into those sunny, seaside flavors through guided insight and a thoughtfully curated tasting lineup.

This class is led by our General Manager, Christine, a WSET Level 3 student who has traveled to Sicily and experienced its wine culture firsthand. Her personal stories and deep wine knowledge will add a unique and immersive perspective to the tasting experience. 

Whether you’ve been with us for the entire series or are joining for this final chapter, this class offers a vibrant, flavorful conclusion to our tour of Italy. Come raise a glass to Southern Italy—an often underrated region full of depth, soul, and unforgettable wines.

Our goal is to ensure that every writer, regardless of genre or skill level, has access to the community, accountability, and resources they need to be successful in their personal writing goals. Our events use our proven formula: a few minutes of introductions, an hour of focused writing, and a final check-in to share the hour's progress.

The Wine 101 class is the perfect starting point for diving into the wonderful world of wine, whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to take your skills to the next level! In this hands-on, approachable class, you’ll learn the fundamentals of wine tasting, including the art of identifying aromas, flavors, and textures, all while sampling a variety of grape varietals and styles from around the globe. From bold reds to crisp whites and everything in between, you’ll start to connect the dots between what’s in your glass and where it came from.

We’ll also discuss essential knowledge beyond tasting, including how to properly store and serve wine, why the shape of your glass matters, and how to identify key wine components such as tannins, body, and acidity. Plus, you’ll learn which foods are friends and foes of wine with guided tasting activities!

Expect plenty of sips, lots of “aha” moments, and a laid-back atmosphere where no question is too basic. Whether you're here to build your wine confidence or just want to drink something delicious while learning a thing or two, this is your class! Come curious and leave with a new favorite wine (or three)!

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you on Sundays at Putnam's vine/yard. RSVP here.

Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done around other people doing the same thing.

What Should I Bring?

Whatever you need to be able to write!

Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the overhead music or the conversation by other patrons.

GUIDELINES:

Space is limited so registration will be required. Link to register is coming soon.
