New Special Event! Tre Bicchieri Wine Dinner at Ristorante da Piero
Thursday, April 10
You've often heard about the Italian wine rating bible, Gambero Rosso, and their rating system of 1-, 2-, or 3-glass winners. Less than 300 wines out of over 15,000 are given the ultimate award of "tre bicchieri" or 3 Glass. During this incredible evening, we'll be drinking nothing but 3-glass winners paired with an incredible 5-course dinner at Ristorante da Piero in Rivertown (see last week's Lagniape on great Italian restaurants). Antonio Molesini, our favorite Italian wine guy, and Palm Bay Imports will be presenting the wines, while Piero Cenni and his family dish up some of the best Italian food in the region! And, not only are we going to wine and dine you, we're also going to provide a bus for transportation to and from the restaurant with complimentary Prosecco! For more information on Ristorante da Piero, visit their website.
This event is limited to 50 people and pre-payment is required upon reservation. Please call (504) 304-0635 to reserve your spot!
