Wine lovers, take note! On Sunday evening, June 10, La Buona Vita, along with Winebow Wines, will host an exclusive Wine Dinner from 6:00 – 8:30 p.m. that celebrates and pairs northern Italian cuisine with wines from Tuscany, Italy. Diners will benefit from sharing the experience with Dali Brkovic, Italian wine specialist. 

The cost is $65 cost plus tax and tip. 

Five Italian wines will be brought to La Buona Vita from Tuscany exclusively for this event, and a limited selection will be available for purchase. “This is an exciting opportunity for our diners to experience the true marriage of Italian food and wine,” said La Buona Vita Chef Terry Rempert. “We make our pasta every day with an authentic extruder, which isn’t common in Italian restaurants here. But that level of authenticity really deserves to be paired with these kinds of small-batch wines so that our diners can experience first-hand what true Italian dining is!” 

The evening will begin with a reception at 6:00 p.m., followed by dinner from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
