Upstate South Carolina Wine-Dinner at Babbo’s In the North Georgia Mountains with Recipes by Mario Batali and Wines by Joe Bastianich

Nov 1  - Dinner at Babbo’s In the North Georgia Mountains

(Recipes by Mario Batali) 

Yes, we are taking you to Italy via Babbo’s in New York City.  Mario Batali believes that olive oil is as precious as gold, that shorts and orange crocs are acceptable attire for every season, and food, like most things, is best when left to its own simple beauty. In addition,  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. Dinner and wines is $98 per person, plus tax and gratuity.
