There are about 4,000 miles separating Italy and Somerville, but Journeyman chef-owners Tse Wei Lim and Diana Kudajarova hope to shorten that distance with their Natural Italian Wine Dinner. The four-course affair will take place on Thursday, June 19th with seatings at 6:30, 7:00 and 7:30pm. Wine pairings will be presented by Matt Mollo of SelectioNational and will spotlight lesser known varietals and uncommon viticultural techniques. You can even be a part of history as a few of the wines will be making their US debut. The event costs $90, wine and food included. To make a reservation call 617.718.2333 or email Bradford@journeymanrestaurant.com.
