July 13 - Italian Wine Dinner – Journey with us to Verona, Italy

Let’s go on a journey to Verona, Italy – with Exec Chef Denice Grande and the Solare Team.

On Thursday, July 13, we are lucky to have the owner and winemaker of Zyme Estate here at Solare – he is in San Diego for just that one day.

Zyme Wine Estate is located outside of Verona, and the owner/founder and winemaker is Celestino Gaspari.

He is a leader in what’s happening with Amarone and other wines from the Verona region. Celestino started Zyme in 1999 and before that he was at Quintarelli for 15+ years.

Chef Denice and I are designing the menu to have a focus on the cuisine of the Verona area. It’s an “Evening in Verona” with the winemaker and great wines and Veronese dishes.
