Wine School June 25th: Italy Part 3: Central and Southern Italy

In this third installment of our Italy wine series, we’ll journey through the heart and soul of the country’s winemaking regions: Central and Southern Italy. From the rolling hills of Tuscany to the sun-drenched vineyards of Sicily, this class offers an in-depth exploration of the diverse landscapes and grape varieties that define Italy’s iconic wines. You’ll taste your way through bold reds from Central Italy, from Chianti Classico to Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, then move further south to savor wines made from Aglianico, alongside aromatic whites crafted from Fiano. Throughout the class, you’ll discover how unique terroirs—from the rolling hills of Tuscany and the volcanic soils of Mount Etna in Sicily, to the coastal vineyards of Campania—shape the distinct character of each wine. By the end of this class, you'll have a newfound appreciation for the vibrant wines of Central and Southern Italy, with a deeper connection to the regions that make them so special.

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 5PM on Thursdays at Putnam's vine/yard.

Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done around other people doing the same thing.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING?

Whatever you need to be able to write!

Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the overhead music, or the conversation by other patrons.

GUIDELINES:

Space is limited so registration will be required. Link to register is coming soon. 

SCHEDULE

5 - 5:15 - Arrive, get set up and make quick introductions

5:15 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour

6:15 - The End: chat, take off, or keep writing

OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating!) with other writers is a cool thing.

Happy writing and we look forward to seeing you there!

WHAT IS SHUT UP AND WRITE?

Shut Up & Write hosts free in-person and online writing events for writers all over the world. Our goal is to ensure that every writer, regardless of genre or skill level, has access to the community, accountability, and resources they need to be successful in their personal writing goals. Our events use our proven formula: a few minutes of introductions, an hour of focused writing, and a final check-in to share the hour's progress.

We're thrilled to continue our collaboration with our friends at Still North Books & Bar, bringing together the perfect blend of books and wine! Each month, new and familiar faces will host or co-host our meet-ups.

In June, Book and Bottle will be hosted by Anna G. on Tuesday and Jamie S. on Thursday. This month’s pick is The Midnight Library by Matt Haig—a captivating, thought-provoking novel that explores the choices that shape our lives. We'll be pairing it with a lively Storypoint Cabernet Sauvignon from California.

Your pre-order includes a specially curated bottle of wine, the book, and an invitation to join the discussion.

Pick-ups start June 1st, 2025. We will send an email when they are ready for pick-up!

Space is limited, so only those on the Book & Bottle Order List can attend. 

Let the bartenders know you’re with the group to enjoy 15% off your purchases on event night!
