Wine Tasting-Networking for Charity


Edina Country Club, Edina, MN  
Thursday, November 12, 2026 4:00 PM - 6:30 PM   iCalendar Central Standard Time

We hope you can attend this event for a tour of Tuscany and the wonderful wines they produce.  This annual charity/networking event will take place on Thursday, November 12th at Edina Country Club (4 - 6:30pm).

We will be exploring one of the world’s most legendary and beautiful wine regions. Tucked into the sun-drenched hills of central Italy, Tuscany is a place where winemaking is not just an industry, but a centuries-old way of life.

As we taste through our selections, you will notice a few common threads that define Tuscan wine:

  • The Soul of Sangiovese: This is the undisputed king grape of the region. It gives Tuscan reds their vibrant acidity, firm tannins, and signature flavors of tart cherries, earthy herbs, and savory spice.
  • A Taste of Place: Tuscan wines are famous for being "food-friendly." Their bright acidity and structural balance are designed to perfectly complement rich pasta, olive oils, and roasted meats.
  • Tradition Meets Innovation: Our lineup celebrates the incredible diversity of the region—from the historic, strictly regulated hillside appellations that have made Italy famous, to modern, rule-breaking blends that showcase Tuscany's creative and contemporary spirit.

Raise your glasses, and let's journey through the hills of Italy. Salute!
