We believe in taking the taste to the people. Feel free to call or email at your whim and schedule a private tasting party at your home or office. We can do wine tasting, whiskey, rum, or tequila tasting, or an instructional cocktail party! You and your friends can enjoy the evening while we do the hard work. It’s our pleasure.
Here’s how it works. Simply pick a date that works for you and your friends and get it on our calendar. Then, we will help you decide what kind of wines or spirits you want to taste and we will help you with food ideas, recipes, or even finding a caterer. The party themes are plentiful. We even bring the glassware and do the dishes!

- Roccia Fuori - January 23, 2012
It’s always good to get out of town occasionally. Last weekend, I had the chance to travel back to Clarksdale, a place I always enjoy visiting, for a good cause. Roccia Fuori was a food and wine extravaganza, a benefit for the Craig Noone Scholarship and was highlighted by some of the best chefs one could find anywhere. Oh, and the sommelier was pretty good, too.
