Italian Summer Picnic
Italian Summer Picnic
Greetings Fellow Wine Lovers!
It’s summertime, which means relaxation, vacations, relishing the outdoors, and of course, another wine dinner at Emilio’s!
This July, let us whisk you away to the scenic Italian countryside for our “Italiano Summer Picnic” wine dinner.
At this picnic, rather than serving traditional picnic foods; we’ll experience a lovely array of Italian summer fare for an exquisite picnic “Emilio’s style.”
For this event, we have chosen unique refreshing summer wines (with of course, one beautiful red for all of our red wine lovers!) and perfectly paired them with light summer fare that will elevate the flavors of the dishes as well as the wines themselves.
We are also pleased to have Lou Somma, of S & B Wines, joining us for yet another dinner.
For those who attended our Umbrian Wine Dinner, you may remember all of Lou’s fabulous wines, and the distinctive styles and Italian varietals are sure to please again! We hope you’ll join us this July!
