Get that Stanley Tucci/Italian vacation vibe going at the Fattoria Valacchi Wine Dinner at Sonsie on Wednesday, May 25th. Starting at 6:30pm, you can indulge in a four-course meal with accompanying wines from Niccolo Sanesi’s 58-hectare family winery in the heart of Chianti (in the town of Barberino Val d’Elsa between Florence and Siena). Sanesi’s wines are mostly made with the classic grapes of the famed winemaking region, including Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Colorino and Malvasia, which you will get to taste in a trio of their Chianti blends. Tickets for the dinner (available here) cost $95 each – snag a pair and secure your spot for the wine-y Newbury Street shindig. Call 617.351.2500 for more information.
