Chef/Owner Matthew Porco and Sommelier Alan Uchrinscko cordially invite you to join them for a wine dinner featuring the wines of Marchesi Antinori.
The Antinori family has been making wine for over six hundred years, since Giovanni di Piero Antinori became part of the Arte Fiorentina dei Vinattieri in 1385. Throughout its long history, spanning 26 generations, the family has always personally managed the business making innovative, sometimes courageous choices, always with unwavering respect for tradition and the land.The real revolution came in 1971, with the launch of Tignanello, a barrique-aged wine from the eponymous vineyard that contained Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Ineligible for the Chianti Classico appellation (for which only Sangiovese was permitted), Tignanello and later Solaia (an 80%Cabernet-Based wine from the same Chianti Classico region) shook up the Italian wine industry, leading to far-reaching changes in rules and attitudes and introducing the world to the concept of so-called Super-Tuscan wines.
Chef Porco's five-course Tuscan-themed menu will be served alongside a tasting of Antinori's legendary wines. A total of eight wines will be tasted, including two whites (Vermentino and Chardonnay), three vintages of Brunello from Antinori's Pian delle Vigne estate and the world-famous Super-Tuscans – Solaia and Tignanello (Wine Spectator's #4 and #7 Wines of the Year). The tastingwill conclude with a special dessert prepared by Pastry Chef Barbara Ferguson paired with Antinori's Castello della Salla Muffato sweet wine.
This very special event will be limited to twelve people per evening for two consecutive nights: one on Tuesday, February 19th and the other on Wednesday, February 20th. Dinner will start promptly at 6:30pm.
The cost of the dinner is $210.00 per person (tax and gratuity not included).
