Rooster Hill Vineyards Announces New Event - Liquid Gold Italian Olive Oil Tasting


Penn Yan, NY, April 2005— Rooster Hill Vineyards is excited to announce the addition of Liquid Gold Italian Olive Oil seminar and tasting to the 2005 events schedule. Join co-owner of Rooster Hill Vineyards and certified olive oil consultant, Amy Hoffman as she introduces guests to the wonders and benefits of olive oil.

Inspired by Amy's Italian heritage and the Tuscan appeal of the tasting room, she decided to bring a taste of the Italian cuisine to the Finger Lakes. Olive oil is similar to wine in many ways in that it has many different tastes and characteristics depending on how it is harvested and where it was grown. Each session will highlight key points on the history, types and health benefits followed by a tasting of olive oils from Sicily, Tuscany, and Umbria to name a few. Fresh bread made on site in the Rooster Hill wood fired oven will accompany the tasting.

Olive oil tastings are held from 2 - 3 pm on the creek stone terrace at Rooster Hill on the following Tuesdays: June 14th, July 12th and August 9th. Each attendee will taste and explore the difference in a variety of olive oils from Italy. Olive oils will also be available for purchase. Reservations are required and the cost for this event is $10 per person. Anyone interested in attending should call 315-536-4773.
