{"title":"Julia Coney and Tommaso Beggiato Wax Rhapsodic on the Willamette Valley","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis week we have a new and special tasting for you on \u003cstrong\u003eSaturday, June 20\u003c\/strong\u003e from \u003cstrong\u003e3-6 pm\u003c\/strong\u003e. Our colleague Julia Coney and Tommaso Beggiato of Banville Wine Merchants are taking over the Tasting Bar in mutual admiration of one of our best wine regions, Oregon's Willamette Valley. From the unique soil combinations that are the result of millennia of plate tectonics to the unique climactic conditions allowed by the Van Duzer Corridor, the Willamette makes both some of the most delicate and powerful Pinot Noir in the U.S. That alone is enough for a dedicated tasting, but that leaves the whole world of white wine out of the question, and that's just unacceptable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTommaso\u003c\/strong\u003e has been in the wine business for years, and has been a good friend of the shop since joining \u003cstrong\u003eBanville\u003c\/strong\u003e when they opened for business in DC.
