Virtual Wine Tasting Process
For those of you new to the tastings, we open two bottles together– available for purchase at Windham Wines– and talk with the winemaker or winery owner about terroir, grapes, farming practices and wine.
Come into the shop, buy the wines, leave us your email so that we can send the Zoom link. For the tasting, have your wines ready, prepare some snacks, and relax into the evening with some delicious conversation.
Email us your email address so that we can send you the link to participate.

Virtual Tasting – Riccardo Baldi – La Staffa
May 16, 2020 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Riccardo Baldi, owner-winemaker, La Staffa
Marche, Italy
Ian d’Agata, author of Native Wine Grapes of Italy, contends that Verdicchio is “arguably Italy’s greatest white grape variety” (465). We are fortunate to sample two Verdicchio’s from La Staffa, with winemaker Riccardo Baldi, who was awarded the “Best Young Winemaker: Marche,” at Vinitaly in 2018. Biodynamically-farmed on limestone-rich rolling hills in the Castelli di Jesi zone, hand-picked, and fermented with indigenous yeasts, we’ll taste the young vines classico that is fruit, floral and fresh green herbs and the single vineyard Rincrocca that features older vines that produce wines that are broader and more resiny.
To participate in our virtual tastings, send us your email and we’ll send you the invitation on the morning of the tasting. info@windhamwines.com
We usually taste two wines, both of which are available at Windham Wines for Friday or Saturday pick-up.
