On Sunday, March 8, from 6:00–8:00 p.m., members of the Société Mondiale du Vin will gather with fellow lovers of Italian wine and culture for an aperitivo tasting celebrating the wines and olive oils of Tenuta Torciano of San Gimignano, a renowned Tuscan family estate.

Sommelier Ferdinando Raffaele Rossi will guide guests through the tasting.

The event, hosted by Dame de la Chaîne Heather Battaglia, will take place on the 40th Floor of The Residences at Rainier Square in downtown Seattle, where an exceptional view of the Seattle skyline awaits.
