It’s Going To Be A Battle… Of The Bottles!

Temperate climate, beautiful terraced hillsides festooned with vines heavy with grapes, breathtaking stone estates where the best wine in the world is carefully crafted.  

You must be Tuscany, right?  

But wait… could it be the Napa Valley?  

Debate has long raged as to who produces the most sophisticated and palate-friendly wines, Italy or California.  (Yes, France is excellent as well, but we’ll leave that discussion for another time!)   Who can decide?  

On March 22 at the Italian Club Dallas we can let you be the judge!

We’re excited to be hosting Round I of our Battle of the Bottles pitting Italian wines vs. California wines and we’re making a great event out of it!

Attendees will enjoy a wonderful multi-course dinner prepared by our own Chef Tommaso and each course will be accompanied by two wine “samples” ~ one from Italy and one from California.  The menu will be Antipasto ~ Seafood Salad ~ Pasta Bolognese ~ Lamb Chops ~ and Chocolate Mousse with Berries. And the wines… well you have to decide which is which and the answers will be revealed at the end of the evening.  

Elsa Ricchi, Export Manager for Casale del Giglio wines will take the lead on the Italian side, and Oak Cliff Cellars’ Jim Richardson will represent California.  They will offer a description of each wine, delineating its history, describing what flavor notes to expect as you sample it, and providing its retail availability locally.  There will also be a purchasing opportunity at the end of the evening.

This event promises to be a culinary delight and reservations for it are required and can be made here.

We hope to see you on March 22 at the Battle!
