Super Tuscan Wine Dinner - collaboration with Chef Ken Baker
Super Tuscans! Just the name is exciting. Join us for a 4-course dinner paired with some Italy's most exciting exports. Super Tuscans are known as Italy's 'wines of fantasy'. In essence, these are wines that defy the traditional classifications of Italy's wine regions, most commonly featuring either blends or single varietal expressions of French grapes (Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah). These Bordeaux-style wines are infused with Italy's sun, soil, and spirit and they are some of the most famous wines in the world.
Tonight's dinner will offer guests the chance to experience Super Tuscans from the best of the best, including Sassicaia, Tignanello, Ornellaia, Saffredi, and Biserno. The base tasting will feature the introductory 2nd or 3rd wines from these producers which highlight the producers' styles and give an excellent introduction into the beauty of the concept. For a premium add-on, guests can then pair the big wines side-by-side with their little brothers.
Our meal will be a collaboration with Chef Ken Baker, featuring Pane e Vino's classic pasta along with a few courses from Ken.
