Description

Ciao, amici—come sip a little slice of Italy with us at Sparrow.

Settle in for a relaxed, flavor-filled journey through four beautiful Italian wines, each paired with cheeses chosen to make both sing. It’s easygoing, a little indulgent, and just the right amount of educational—no expertise required, just curiosity (and maybe a love of cheese).

Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or simply curious, this is your invitation to gather, taste, and linger alongside fellow guests—and learn a thing or two from the team at Euphoric Cheese Shop and Sparrow Wine Bar.

On the cheese side…
Amy Burritt, co-owner of Euphoric Cheese Shop and Sparrow Wine Bar, brings her deep-rooted love of cheese to the table. Raised in a family of specialty food lovers (her parents founded South Slope Cheese Co. in Asheville), Amy has a knack for making cheese both approachable and endlessly interesting. Expect a few laughs, some great stories, and at least one “you have to try this” moment—especially if you ask what she’s loving right now.

On the wine side…
Mandy Glenn, your guide through the glass and bartender at Sparrow, pours with equal parts knowledge and enthusiasm. Her curiosity about wine—from the people behind it to the flavors in your glass—is infectious. She’ll have you noticing things you’ve never quite tasted before… and probably wanting another sip.

How it Works

We’ll taste, chat, and enjoy our way through all four pairings together. When we wrap up, the wine bar will open for regular service at 3pm—so you’re welcome to stay, order a glass, and keep the afternoon going.
