Italian Wine Dinner

We had a fabulous Italian inspired wine dinner on Thursday, September 19. Dinner was served family style on the River Club lawn with lights strung overhead and a full moon rising over the river. There were five Italian wines served with a blind tasting for the evening which paired two whites for one course and two reds for the second and finished off the evening with a great prosecco. Chef Jason created a great arugula risotto, sunchoke and zucchini timbale and a branzino involtini for the first course. With the red wines he made lentils with a house made sausage, brisket that was braised in chianti, and a porchetta. If you have not come out for a wine dinner this year our next one is on October 23 and will be featuring French wines and what will likely be an unforgettable menu from Chef Jason. Sign up early as space will be limited for this event!  Click the images below to view them larger!
