Join us for a Sicilian Wine Dinner featuring the iconic producer COS. We’ll have the National Representative in the building talking about the winery and the wines we will be tasting. We will be featuring a four-course meal paired with five wines. Check out the menu below.
Founded in 1980 by three friends - Giambattista Cilia, Giusto Occhipinti, and Cirino Strano; the winery is an acronym of their last names. The trio graduated high school and, looking for a summer activity, started making wine from historic, family vineyards. One season and they were hooked. The vineyards and winemaking have been organically managed and low-intervention since the outset – a rarity at any time but particularly in that era of winemaking. COS paved the way for the future of Sicilian wine as well as the natural wine movement – as they put it, they returned to the roots of winemaking to include the implementation of un-lined, clay amphorae. COS remains one of the benchmark producers in Sicily if not the entirety of Italy.
