Sold Out!
Evening of Italian Food & Wine, February 12, 2010
Hello Again!
It’s been a while. Are you still interested in food and wine pairing?
I hope so – we’re going to host another Evening of Food and Wine in February – February 12, to be precise. It would be a great way to celebrate Valentine’s Day (especially since we’re focusing on the the foods and wine of Italy – the romance capital of the world).
And – a lot of you know this, but for those who don’t – Victoria is Italian and is a stunning chef of Italian cuisine. This is one you won’t want to miss!
When and Where
February 12, 2010, 7pm – 9pm
Caffè Victoria 1296-A Main Street, Windsor, Colorado
Menu (in order of presentation)
- Arugula and Fava Bean Crostini - Soave Classico
- Calamari in the Luciana Style (Calamari in a spicy sauce of garlic, white wine, red pepper flake, Italian parsley, and fresh thyme) - Vernaccia di San Gimignano
- Veal Scaloppine with Porcini Sauce (Veal Scaloppine and Porcini mushrooms in a white cream sauce) - Chianti Classico
- Chevre & Arugula Ravioli with Pancetta Tomato Sauce - Pinot Grigio
- Polenta with Italian Sausage & Rapini - Barbera d’Alba
- Panna Cotta with Strawberries Amaretti - Moscato d’Asti
How Things Work
With each of the foods, Victoria describes the food (special ingredients, preparation style, etc) and I describe the wines and why I’ve recommended the particular wine/varietal for the designated food. Our goal is to do more than just provide a great evening of food and wine – we want to provide a little education as well so that you can do your own food and wine pairing and multiply your enjoyment.
A couple more things:
- Space is limited to 22 people.
- I’ll “assign” wines as people register for the event. I generally only assign the varietal, allowing guests to choose the specific bottling so that they can purchase a wine in their comfort zone. I’ll be asking each couples (or individual, as applicable) to bring a bottle of wine to share with the group.

NOTE: you must be 21 years of age or older to participate.
