On Tuesday- 2/23 - Cristian and I will go head-to-head with wine pairings from around the world versus old school Italian benchmarks paired with a crazy fusion small bites menu from executive chef Ryan Smith. On Wednesday - 2/24 - we welcome winemaker Marco Barbi of Felsina (and Cristian's good friend) for another installment of our Meet The Winemaker Series.
