Red Bank Wine Bar and Restaurant, Undici, is not only a fantastic place to enjoy dinner and wine, but also offers a high-end selection of wines for purchase and is dedicated to promoting and spreading the culture and knowledge of wine.  By offering wine tastings and classes, the Red Bank area Italian restaurant is bringing together wine enthusiasts to celebrate and learn more about wine culture.

The lecture and seminar series being offered by Undici, called Accademia del Vino, was developed to bring together NJ wine enthusiasts and aspring connoisseurs.  Victor Rallo, owner of Undici, states that "These events are part of our ongoing quest to bring our passion and knowledge of Italian wine, cuisine, and culture to the consumer."

The Accademia del Vino classes consist of three main parts:  a dinner, lecture and wine tasting.  The classes, which cost $39.00 plus tax and 10% gratuity, are offered throughout the year.  

Along with their calendar of wine tastings, classes and seminars, Undici also will be offering a complimentary "Meet and Greet" with renowned Piermonte Italian winemaker, Andrea Sottimano on April 1st, 2010.  With a cozy setting in front of the fireplace, Sottimano, who's been praised by The Wine Advocate, will be answering questions and talking about the world of wine producing from 7pm - 9pm.  More information on Andrea Sottimano and the April 1st event can be found here:  http://rumson.undicirestaurant.com/20100308-undici-brings-the-world-of-wine-to-rumson/

 

Undici has long been hailed for their intriguing and impeccable menu of Italian wine.  Most recently, the famed Italian restaurant announced that they had been selected to receive the Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence.  Only 15 restaurants in NJ received this special ‘2 glass’ rated award.  In order to qualify, restaurants must have a minimum of 400 labels as well as regional coverage of Italian wines and regions.
