A Taste of Autumn: A European Wine & Culinary Journey

Luigi’s Restaurant and Gourmet Express presents A Taste of Autumn, a European wine and culinary journey through four of the continent’s most storied wine regions.

The evening begins at a grand charcuterie table representing all four featured regions, with regional cheeses, cured meats, and spreads. From there, guests stroll between four tasting stations, each pairing a pair of dishes with wines from its home region.

• Tuscany brings Risotto Pomodoro alongside Tuscan Pan-Seared Cod, poured with Palagetto Vernaccia di San Gimignano and Tenuta di Capezzana Conte Contini Bonacossi.

• Basque Country offers Stuffed Piquillo Peppers and Rioja-Braised Beef with Marqués de Riscal Rioja Reserva and Vilarnau Cava Brut Reserva.

• The Douro Valley station serves Portuguese Pork Tenderloin and Autumn Roasted Root Vegetables with Camaleão Vinho Verde Alvarinho and Dow’s Douro Vale do Bonfim.

• Burgundy closes the tour with Wild Mushroom Vol-au-Vent and Coq au Vin, paired with Cave de Lugny Mâcon-Villages Chardonnay and Mas la Chevalière Pinot Noir.

Dessert follows with Tuscan Apple and Almond Crostata with mascarpone cream, and Pastéis de Nata with cinnamon and orange zest, served with Warre’s King’s Tawny Port.

Live music by Gian Carlo throughout the evening. Proceeds benefit A Wish Come True.

Friday, September 11th, 6:00pm to 8:30pm. $68 per person. Seating is limited.
