April 26 - Italian Wine Dinner – An Evening in Barolo with Damilano Estate

I am delighted to announce that we just confirmed that Thomas Cuni from the legendary Barolo winery, Damilano Estate, is here at Solare to lead a very special Wine Dinner.  

Damilano Estate was founded over 100 years ago in 1890, and is absolutely one of the top names in Barolo.  They are one of the very few producers of Barolo from the Cannubi Cru.  

Call us at 619-270-9670 … or click here to request a reservation.

We will be drinking some of the best Barolo and Piemonte wines on the planet – with a Solare 4-course pairing menu.  We are pouring the famed 2015 and 2016 vintages — including the 2016 Cannubi Barolo.    As you may know – Cannubi is considered the top Cru in all of Barolo.  And, we have the 2015 Lecinguevigne Barolo.

Thomas will let us know firsthand what is happening right now in Barolo and Piemonte.   The ’15 and ’16 vintages were epic – and from what I learned at Vinitaly the ‘19’s are looking delicious.  Thomas is very engaging and fun.

The evening with Thomas starts with a Reception at 6:30pm followed by a 4-course dinner we are designing as we speak.   The evening is $98 and that includes 5 select Damilano wines and our 4-course pairing dinner.
