1st Course

Italian Salmon with a Warm Tomato Vinaigrette

Wine-Cantine Elvio Tintero Rosato, Piedmont

“Light pink color, nose shows some cherry pits and flowers, slightly fizzy, dry, refreshing and light, hints of red cherry and orange zest show up on the palate with mineral to finish, delicious as an aperitif and a nice value”

2nd Course

Pappardelle with Peppers and Sausage

Wine-Tenuta La Pergola Vino Rosso “Il Goccetto”, Piedmont

“La Pergola’s Goccetto is an unpretentious, hydrating little red with a fragrant, rosy perfume of bone-dry Brachetto and Barbera. A hint of bitterness adds dimension and bite to what is otherwise a delicate, light-bodied wine. I love it for pasta night. Pair it with anything from spicy sausage and broccoli rabe orecchiette to the most pared-back tomato sauce—try Marcella Hazan’s—which epitomizes a simple meal and begs to be enjoyed with a thirst-quenching rosso like this one. Without much tannin, this “little nip” is silky, finessed, and loaded with freshness.”

Entrée

Lamb Chops with Rosemary and Grapes

Wine-Colleleva Lacrima di Morro d’Alba, Le Marche

“If ever a wine could be described as a beacon of pure joy, it might just be the rare Lacrima di Morro d’Alba from Le Marche, near central Italy’s Adriatic coast. This dry red’s ambrosial perfume of lavender, roses, and tooth-staining wild berries is completely intoxicating, while its lithe, juicy freshness makes imbibing feel like a divine privilege.”

Italian Cheesecake

Amaretto Cream Sauce
