During my time in Tuscany I was inspired by the role of food in Italian culture. Food is a lifestyle in Tuscany; people know where their food comes from and how to prepare it. They seek comfort and quality in their food. I wanted to share that real food experience with Washington, D.C.

FEATURED WINE: Cantine Pellegrino, Tareni Grillo, 2019
Tareni Grillo is a straw yellow delicate and elegant wine. Fine aromas of citrus fruit are accompanied by notes of jasmine and orange blossom. On the palate it is fresh and well balanced with notes of citron and lemon, sweetened by hints of vanilla. Sicily in a glass!
