<a id="Solare-Wine-Dinner-Antinori-2023"></a>Italian Wine Dinner with legendary Antinori Estates

June 06 - Italian Wine Dinner with legendary Antinori Estates

This is a big one! Italian Wine Dinner on Tuesday, June 6. 9 days from today.

I am delighted to announce that Silvio di Silvio will be here leading an evening focused on the great wines of Antinori Estates.

We are featuring Antinori’s Tignanello Super Tuscan wine (very special!) and I believe that I am able to get it in magnums for the dinner.

Antinori is arguably the most prestigious winery in all of Italy. Antinori can trace its history back to 1385 … and they played a large part in the “Super-Tuscan” revolution of the 1970s.
