a dinner for one at Il Ridotto with a bottle of Brunello. Gianni is a master.
My current drink of choice:
Red wine: All Pinot Noir all the time (mostly Burgundy, currently soaking in Volnay); some old Rioja especially R. López de Heredia Vina Tondonia
I really wish I could:
be a sommelier in Paris, but really farming my own vineyard and making my own wine
My "Go-to" dinner party dish:
some steak tartare....any pasta dish....Rack of lamb with roasted carrots
My favorite comfort food:
Fettuccine alla Bolognese
