Chef / Proprietor Alec Schuler presents two special evening events: One of his daily rituals that brings him great joy is to drink good wine with his evening meal. And bringing this great "joy of wine" into his restaurants, as he did for many years at Arugula, is something he is hanging onto. So with his Arugula Restaurant's demise in 2018, Alec will continue to occasionally offer his favorite creative culinary outlet.
ABOUT RUFFINO
Established near Florence in 1877 by cousins Ilario and Leopoldo Ruffino, and winning international awards since the 1880’s, these wines express the history and heritage of Italy. The three red wines we selected are from the heart of Ruffino, Tuscany. One classic and two showing great contemporary flair with high percentages of international varietals. Ruffino has expanded their reach throughout Italy, displayed in our white and rose selections, which are from Friuli and Veneto regions. Experts from RNDC wine distributors will be on hand to educate, inform and lead guests through each wine.
Cost:
$50/person for dinner, with an additional $29/person for the wines (not including tax and gratuity).
