California cultivated. Pittsburgh perfected.
(278)

Italian accented. Papa Joe’s Wine Cellar brings the spirit of California wine country to Western Pennsylvania β€” where bold flavor, hard work, and family tradition meet in every glass. Founded by β€œPapa Joe” Talarico, who began making wine in Erie in 1982 after learning from Doug Moorhead at Presque Isle Wine Cellars, our story blends California craftsmanship with Pittsburgh grit and Italian heritag

e. Papa Joe’s daughters, Katie and Beth, grew up in the cellar beside their dad and cousin Sam β€” a tradition rooted in their family’s ancestral home of Sersale, Calabria. Today, we craft small-batch wines from 100% California grapes, aged and bottled right here in Zelienople. The result? California-quality wines made locally with soul β€” real, balanced, and full of character. Napa style. Pittsburgh heart. Italian hospitality. Wine country, without the flight.

And now, a message from Papa Joe and Josh at Cafe Verde:

If you missed our Pizza & Wine Pairing, first of all… we forgive you. Second, yes, it’s coming back late summer/early fall.

But we refuse to let everyone suffer through a wine-pairing drought until then.

So on Sunday, June 28th, Papa Joe and Beth are bringing an Italian-inspired Brunch & Wine Pairing to the patio β€” because apparently regular brunch just isn’t enough anymore.

Beth will be working the Blackstone like she’s auditioning for the Food Network, while PJ confidently explains why this wine absolutely belongs with Ricci’s sausage. And honestly? He’s probably right.

Expect:
🍷 6 wines
🍳 Peppers & eggs
πŸ₯“ Pancetta
🍞 French toast bake
🌭 Ricci’s sausage
…and a few more things we’re keeping secret because mystery tastes better.

Only 22 people get in on this one, which means:
β€’ no waiting in line
β€’ no fighting for patio space
β€’ and no pretending your brunch cocktail counts as a wine pairing

Come hungry. Come thirsty. Come before PJ starts pouring himself extra samples.

Sunday, June 28th
Italian Brunch & Wine Pairing
22 seats only β€” reserve yours early
Link for tickets will be posted on our link tree today, and is already up on the event page on Facebook. Or, stop into PJWC and reserve in person. $70/person
