Guest Speaker-Jesse Fincannon from Thirst Wine $45
G.D.Vajra Philosophy “There is no vineyard, no terroir, without the land. To love it is simple, but not easy. The land is generous and alive. It is beautiful. It needs understanding and time. It takes your breath away with its colors and many wonders. The land asks for absolute dedication. It asks to be loved for better or worse, in abundance and scarcity. The land is almost more than a house. It's part of our life and asks to be guarded with the same tenderness that we have for our loved ones. And the amazing thing is that, despite all the difficulties, to love it does not need any effort.”
1st Course Shrimp and Pancetta on Polenta
Wine-Luigi Baudana Langhe Bianco Dragon D.O.C “A pale and bright yellow enriched by dry perfumes of stone, flowers, and summery grass. Dry and slightly savory on the palate, its stinging freshness is well balanced by a warm taste. This is the promise of our Langhe Bianco.”
2nd Course Pasta with Veal and Sundried Tomato Cream Sauce
“Our Langhe Rosso is a red blend of heirloom varieties, including Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto and the rare Freisa and Albarossa. An authentic expression and a true introduction to Piemonte, this is a gorgeous wine to pair with food.”
Entrée Chicken Cacciatore
Wine-Vajra Langhe Nebbiolo D.O.C 100% Nebbiolo
“Our focus for the Langhe Nebbiolo Nebbiolo is is purity of aromatics. Fruit of our young vines, including Bricco Bertone, is hand-picked early in the morning so to capture its quintessential character. Vinification is long and extremely gentle so to retain lift and tension to this wine.”
