Francesca’s Bryn Mawr is hosting a Wine Dinner featuring Greg Gauthier of Gauthier Vineyards and Bouchaine Vineyards. The five-course meal features some of Gauthier’s favorite wines paired with classics from the Francesca’s menu. The dinner is $55 per person, excluding tax and gratuity. Gauthier will be on-site discussing the wines paired with the menu and speaking about his wineries. Reservations are required.

The meal will begin with Crostini with Smoked Salmon, crème fresh, Arugula and Apricots, paired with Sauvignon Blanc. This will be followed by Braised Pork Cheeks Ragout over white creamy Polenta with an exquisite Chardonnay. The third course will feature Handmade Veal-Filled Ravioli with roasted shiitake mushrooms, veal jus and parmesan. This makes an excellent pair for one of Gauthier’s favorite Pinot Noir blends. The fourth course will feature Cast Iron Black Angus Rib Eye with Porcini flavor and roasted fall vegetables in a Cabernet reduction with a different Pinot Noir blend. Dessert will feature an Assortment of Chocolate Truffles with Bouchon D'or.

About Francesca’s Restaurants

The original Mia Francesca opened its doors in Chicago back in 1992, providing customers with delicious Italian fare, comfortable surroundings, and friendly service - a successful business model that allowed for the concept to quickly grow into a national brand.

Francesca’s rotates their menu bi-weekly in order to offer fresh, seasonal ingredients of the highest quality for their rustic Italian dishes. Touted as casual dining in a sophisticated, trattoria ambiance, each individual Francesca’s restaurant has become ingrained in their community and tailors both their menu and special events, such as exquisite wine dinners, to match the tastes and energy of their guests. The consistency is in the amazing food, great service and even better prices. For more information about Francesca’s Restaurants, visit www.miafrancesca.com.
