An Italian Summer Wine Tasting sponsored by the Bay School Community Arts Center will be held from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 21, in the Art Speaks Gallery on Main Street in Mathews.

Don Carlstrom of Free Run Wine Distributors will select and present six Italian wines for tasting. He will have recently returned from a trip to Italy and will have stories of each wine’s origin to share. Individual charcuterie boards will be served with foods to pair with each wine.

Tickets are $45 and can be purchased at the Bay School or online at http://ItalianWine.givesmart.com.
