A wine tour of Italy

Italian wine lovers take note: George Schwartz of Vias Wines will return to Cleonice in Ellsworth to present selections from Piemonte and Liguria — paired with a mouth-watering menu — at 6 p.m. Sunday, March 2. The meal begins with an Antipasti de Mare paired with Bardellini Pigato 2006. Next up is Brodetto, a classic seafood stew from Liguria paired with Dolcetto San Luigi 2005. Risotto Piemontese paired with Cogno Barolo 2002 follows, along with an entree of Stufato al Barolo — beef braised in Nebbiolo with rosemary, dried porcini mushrooms, nutmeg, sage and aromatic vegetables, paired with Produtori Barbaresco 2004. For dessert, a Guiandula Cake with hazelnuts and chocolate, served with Gorgonzola, will be paired with Marenco Brachetto. The meal costs $75 per person, and reservations are recommended. Call 664-7554 for details.
