Calabrian Wine Week

One of Southern Italy's best winemakers, Paolo Librandi will be in New York this week for a series of tastings and events. Having been guests at his winery years ago in Calabria, we can highly recommend the Librandi wines as food friendly and great to drink.

• Tonight, Astor Wines & Spirits will have a tasting of his Ciro Rosso, Duca San Felice Riserva and Gravello. You'll also get 15% off these wines - the Riserva is a steal at $15.29.
  
  
• Tomorrow, January 30th, Union Square Wines will also be tasting these wines. Their website has good notes on the wines, and while they generally discount wines being tasted, no discount is mentioned.
  
  
• On Saturday, they will taste five Librandi wines paired with cheese and charcuterie at Otto Enoteca Pizzeria (1 Fifth Avenue). Cost is $45 (tip extra) and reservations can be made at 212-995-9559. More info is on Otto's website.
