Every once in a long while, something happens that spins your world.
You catch a fly ball at Fenway.
A child comes into your life.
You witness an extraordinary act of kindness.
Something like that happens, the clouds part, and the way forward is clear.
For Kerri Platt, that something that spun her world were the wines of Giampiero Bea.
"They're why I'm doing what I'm doing today," Platt says, which happens to be owning The Wine Bottega in the North End, which happens to be where Bea himself will be visiting on Monday evening.
Will Bea's wines spin your world too?
You'll never know unless you try (for free, by the way).
But given Bea's track record for world-spinning, we doubt you'll emerge unscathed.

DAILY TIDBIT:
The Paolo Bea Winery is located in the hilltop village of Montefalco in the Umbria region of Italy. It traces its history back to the 16th century. Much of the harvesting is still done by hand, the farming is organic, and the wines are unfiltered. As a result, the wines are exceptionally expressive.
