Think Nero d’Avola is the emperor who fiddled while Rome burned? Find out that it’s really Sicily’s premier wine grape and makes a red hearty enough to stand a spoon up in—taste it too—at the Italian Wine Tasting set for Saturday, March 19, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Aventura’s Wine & Spirits Cellar. More than 30 wines from all over Da Boot will be tasted during the course of the evening, which will set you back a grand total of $20. So don’t fiddle around.
