January 25 -

We are doing it again! An Italian “Sunday Wine Lunch” at Solare at 1pm, Sunday January 25.

As Tommy and I highlight in this video overview, we are delighted that we have confirmed an Italian Wine Sunday Lunch with Poggio del Moro Estate – Tuscany!

Join us: Click here to RSVP or call 619-270-9670.

And this Sunday Wine Lunch is especially cool for these key reasons:

• We have Luigi Pagoni leading the lunch. Luigi is both the Winemaker and Vineyard Manager. This is rare that someone with this knowledge of the terroir and vineyards is available to share his insights.
• We also have Tatiana Kuznetsova joining the lunch – she is the owner of the estate – I have met her at the winery – and her passion for their wines is incredible.
• Both are joining via live video from their estate in Val d’Orcia. Real-time!
• Their wines are delicious – and we have been able to order library selections including their 2016 Riserva and 2014 Super Tuscan. Wow!
• This estate is located in the Val d’Orcia area of southern Tuscany – just south of Siena. This is definitely one of the most gorgeous areas of all of Tuscany.

Here are all the details:

• Sunday, January 25
• 1pm Reception
• Chef Denice is designing the 4-course dinner featuring the cuisine of Tuscany and the Val d’Orcia area.
• $85/guest includes the 4-course menu, 5 Poggio del Moro Estate wines
• RSVP right away if you are interested

Hope to see you on Sunday – for lunch!
