The truffle dinners are the perfect complement for much of what we have been purchasing for our old-wine program, Wine in Time, as well as for many northern Italian wines on our regular wine menu. This year we are excited to offer verticals of moderately priced, aged Barolos and Barbarescos.
As always, we will offer a unique list of wines by the glass for the truffle dinners.
A special corkage fee of $25 will apply during these nights.
