Barbera at Compline

Norbert Reinisch of Braida Winery will show Barbera wines at Compline on Thursday, Oct. 24, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Braida, in the Monferrato Hills of Piemonte, is nearly synonymous with the Barbera grape.  The Barbera variety has always played second fiddle to Nebbiolo, Barolo and Barbaresco, but it can be one of Piemonte’s most delicious grapes.  Join Reinisch for a seated tasting of his family’s Barbera from a true specialist of the grape. The cost is $40 at complinewine.com.  Compline Wine Shop, 1300 First St. #319, Napa
