Beef & Barolo with Damilano, elements

Friday January 31, 2020
7:00 PM

Guest speakers Thomas Cuni & Isabella Minghetti join us for a Piedmontese feast!

Damilano is one of few traditional, ancient, ultra-centenary Barolo wine makers. In fact, the Damilano family has been active since 1890 when Giuseppe Borgogno, the great-grandfather of the current owners, started farming and making wine from the family-owned vineyard in Barolo (Cuneo), the town in the Langhe area that the homonymous wine was named after; a beautiful and generous land that has been the heart of the vocation to produce the “king of wines” for centuries.

The 4-course meal is $99 and $69 for the wine pairing. This is a wine & dine experience you won’t want to miss. Passed hors d'oeuvres begin at 7pm, dinner served at 7:30. Reserve your table today.
