Join us for our monthly wine dinner, showcasing a different cuisine from a different regions of Italy each month. On Wednesday, November 11, chef Alex Feldman will prepare an exquisite four-course meal from the island of Sardegna. Each course will be paired with wines from the region, famous for the Cannonau grape. It will be a spectacular menu and evening - we look forward to sharing it with you! History: Located off the western coast of Italy, Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean. Because it is separated from the mainland by more than 100 miles of water, Sardinian culture, cuisine and wine are quite distinct from the rest of Italy, reflecting centuries of invasion by outsiders including Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans and Spaniards. The Spanish exerted the greatest influence upon Sardinian wine production, introducing the grapes known locally as Cannonau and Carignano to the island. Cannonau is renowned for its anti-oxidant properties, Whether or not it’s the wine they drink, Sardinians are famously long-lived, with an unusually high percentage of centenarians.
