An Evening in Italy with Zucca Winery ~By Hanna Alldrin
Murphys, CA....We had the great pleasure of attending "An Evening in Italy", go underground with the club! Zucca Mountain Vineyards, a local Murphys boutique winery, put on another fun filled event for the fall. Zucca’s unique approach to the wine club and it’s events is a refreshing twist on the traditional dinner and music evening. Every event that they stage for their wine club includes a great dinner, music, great wine and always some sort of cultural activity promoting the local area and the arts......

Zucca invited its members and guests for a evening of wine paired with great Italian food, music, a private tour of the Mercer Caverns and if you didn't feel like descending underground Zucca staged a mini sail boat race and gem mining, but best of all, a vertical tasting of Barbera and Sangiovese throughout four award winning years. The event was held at the Mercer Caverns’ lovely grounds, just outside of Murphys.
"This a great opportunity to have a good time and enjoy award winning wines," shared Carol Zucca, owner of Zucca Winery. Carol shared that this event is special because they have the four years of verticals that came out of their reserve.
A beautiful dinner menu was prepared by Lila and Sage catering company in Murphys. The menu included:
2006 Chardonnay
Roasted Pepper & Artichoke Fritatta
2006 Sangiovese Rosato
Baby Spinach
Quince, dried cherries, hazelnuts & tellagio w/maple vinaigrette
2005 Sorprendere
or
2005 Syrah
Osso Bucco
Creamy Polenta
Roasted Wild Mushrooms, Garlic & Fennel
Garlic & Rosemary Focaccia
2007 Syrah Port and/or coffee
Tiramisu
If you missed this appreciation event be sure to mark your calendars for the next event in March in Bear Valley. We would like to thank the Zucca Winery members and staff for making an enjoyable night that was full of unexpected twists. Your fresh ideas make memories that last a lifetime.
