Wine Dinner with the Arrigoni Wine Family at Ristorante LIDI

Join Ristorante LIDI on Tuesday, July 22 for a very special wine dinner with the Arrigone Wine Family. Their Pietraserena is one of the most beautiful wine estates in Italy's Chianti Hills, and produces excellent wines. You'll meet owner Andrea Arrigoni and Davidi Angeli, General Manager, and have the opportunity to try five of their spectacular Tuscans.

The Sciacchetra, a rare white wine of very limited production that has become the symbol of Cinque Terre, described as "lovely and beautiful, almost a meditation," will be served with the fifth course and available by auction at the end of the evening.

Tickets are $65 per person plus tax and processing, and include five courses with wine pairings.

Each wine will be available for purchase by the case. After dinner there will be an auction for several bottles of the rare Sciacchetra Cinque Terre DOC.

Chef Jason Colon has created a delectable menu of dishes that pair beautifully with the Arrigoni wines.
