Sometimes I lead a charmed life. I asked friend Diane Conroy about an upcoming Sons of Italy event, their annual wine dinner. She was on the committee and invited me to the tasting to choose the wines!

The dinner is this Saturday, Dec. 6. Of course the food is authentic, and the wines are Italian.

The line-up looks like Niro Montepulciano with antipasto and bruschetta; Riondo Rosso with roasted pork shoulder and pepperoni lasagna roll-ups; Planeta Segreta and Straccali Pinot Grigio with the seafood dishes; Bartenura Moscato with dessert; a delicioso PISA Liqueur as a finish.

Thank you to the Sons of Italy for the warm welcome. I’m looking forward to the dinner!

(I was in California and Oregon during November. Posts regarding the trip coming soon, and I’ll get back on track.)
