Lagrein Comes To Me

At Easter, Toño and I planed to go to the South Tyrol. Unfortunately, Toño had to go without me, because I was on a business trip. When I came back from another trip on Sunday, Toño had the good news that there will be a Lagrein event in Zürich tomorrow night. Lagrein is an autochthon grape variety of the valleys of northern Italy in the Trentino-South Tyrol region.



The event takes place at the Carlton* and consists of two parts:

• In the Lagrein-Bar from 5 to 8 pm, you can taste the wide variety of Lagrein wines along with local specialities, such as brittle bread and bacon. This all you can get for only CHF 10.
• After 8 pm, the trilogy Lagrein & Dine & Music starts. This is a four-course dinner with matching Lagrein wines. Both is accompanied by traditional Neapolitan songs. This is a bit more expensive but still very reasonable with CHF 120.

If you also want to save the money and time for a trip to the South Tyrol, you should put yourself on the guest list via info@mettlervaterlaus.ch, but a.s.a.p - it's tomorrow.

* Don't let you scare away by the crappy webpage and the fact that the Carlton runs after-work parties. The place is really nice. It's all Art Déco and the wines are well chosen.
