Vinifera Wine Bar & Bistro's Italy World Tour Dinner March 13, 2010

Vinifera Wine Bar & Bistro’s upcoming “World Tour Dinner” will be held on Saturday, March 13th, and will feature food, wine, and entertainment from Italy with a Tuscan flair. Executive Chef Bo Palker has created an authentic menu for the evening, and guests can enjoy dishes such as Lamb Calabria, Caponata Antipasto, Saffron Gnocchi with stewed tomatoes, and Culurgiones Pecorino, pasta full of potatoes, mint, garlic, oil, and pecorino cheese. Sommelier/General Manager Jason Meringolo has created flights of wine from the region that will be available to pair with the dishes.

“Vinifera’s World Tour” is a monthly dinner series that started in 2009 and will continue throughout 2010 due to its immense popularity. Upcoming destinations include Australia on April 17th, Chile on May 22nd, France on June 26th, and the Pacific Northwest on July 24th. Guests who attend the dinners will receive a Vinifera passport and a stamp for the specific country/region featured at the dinner. Once patrons attend three of “Vinifera’s World Tour” dinners and collect the relevant stamps, they will be entered into a drawing for the chance to win an overnight stay at The Westin Reston Heights and breakfast for two at Vinifera.
