We turn our attention to Italy tonight when Roland Marandino, the Wine Ambassador for Cecchi Winery and Sartori Winery visits The Carlton Restaurant to present a “Best of Italy” Wine Dinner. It is always fun to pair wines with Italian offerings because Italian wines are built for the table – complementing the cuisine.
We have three wines rated over ’90″ points including a blockbuster Amarone/Chianti comparison course. This is an evening that will please the palate and Roland is sure to entertain and educate you about the world of Italian Wine! Hope to see you here for a wonderful time out in Pittsburgh!
