San Francisco, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) June 03, 2011
Oddero Winery of Santa Maria, Italy will join in celebrating FARINAs fourth birthday Northern Italian-style. The winery’s sixth-generation owner, Mariacristina Oddero, will present a special selection of wines, including bottles not currently available to the public, to toast with FARINA guests during this special celebration dinner. The event is planned for Wednesday, June 8, 2011 from 5:30 to 10:00 pm at FARINA.
To create perfect matches of wine and northern Italian delicacies, Executive Chef Laboa has created a special seasonal menu to which sommelier Alex Finberg has lovingly paired a selection of Oddero’s premium vintages. Similar to Laboa’s humble roots in Italian culinary tradition, Oddero creates wines that are authentic and timeless.
Oddero wines are not trying to be a bigger, better, sexier version of Barolothey are simply Barolo, said Alex Finberg, FARINA sommelier.
Barolo is a red Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) wine produced in the northern Italian region of Piedmont. It is made from the Nebbiolo grape and is often described as one of Italy’s greatest wines.
Guests of the birthday celebration will meet Mariacristina Oddero, the winerys owner and great granddaughter of Odderos founder. The event also offers wine enthusiasts an opportunity to sample special Italian wines, which will be available by the bottle or glass at prices lower than anywhere else in the United States. The restaurant and winery will also pour complimentary tastings for guests.
FARINAs birthday celebration provides guests an opportunity to try wines of distinction at a very good price,” said Finberg.
The thoughtfully designed birthday menu includes many delectable dishes and wine parings, including:
Veal breast served with homemade tonnee sauce and summer black truffles - paired with Oddero Barbera
Hand-crafted sausage taglierini pasta served with duck egg yolk and summer black truffles - paired with Oddero Barolo
