Large food and wine events are buzzing with activity. By the end of the day your batteries need re-fueling.
With that in mind, the organizers of Vino 2011 which for 3 days brought much of the Italian Wine World to New York, treated us on Tuesday, January 25 to dinner at the Waldorf Astoria preceded by a cocktail hour.
They made sure that the menu (pictured above) brought flavors from all of Italy. We started with Rabbit Lasagna and concluded the meal with Almond Torte.
Wines were plentiful as you can guess from forest of glasses on the table.
Last came Grappa.
And the band played on while we ate, jazz tunes and standards.
A great setting, good food and plenty of wine fueled the conversation at our table.
An evening to remember…
You won't find me in any of the pictures.
