The only thing better than drinking Italian wine is drinking Italian wine with the winemaker. On Thursday, May 3rd Bar Mezzana will be teaming up with Upper Falls Liquors and Della Terra Wines to host not one, but two vintners – Ludovica di Gresy of Marchesi di Gresy and Roberto Felluga-Russiz – for a multi-course and many-wined dinner at their Ink Block spot. The vine-amic duo will walk you through their beautiful Piedmontese Barbarescos and wonderful Friulian whites while you enjoy chef Colin Lynch’s crudo and pasta. Come find out why they say Italian wine was made for eating—tickets are $160 not including processing fees and include tax and gratuity. Click here to book your seat at the table. and
