July 12 - Dinner at "Ristorante Babbo Enoteca" In the North Georgia Mountains (Recipes by Mario Batali)
Yes, we are taking you to Italy via Ristorante Babbo in New York City. Mario Batali believes that olive oil is as precious as gold, that shorts and orange crocs re acceptable attire for every season, and food, like most things, is best when left to its own simple beauty. In addition, all the wines served this evening will be made by Mario’s partner Joe Bastianich. Joe ventured into his ancestral Friuli-Venezia Giulia to create the acclaimed wine estate, Azienda Agricola Bastianich and into Maremma, Tuscany where he established the wine estate La Mozza s.r.l. Finally, Matt Rosenberg from Avant Partir, the distributor of the Bastianich wines in Georgia, will attend the dinner to tell you more about these wonderful wines. Dinner and wines $98.00 per person, plus tax and gratuity.Wines by Joe Bastianich and the Italian Wine Merchants
