In keeping with the mission of Slow Foods, this dinner celebrates the contributions of our local farmers and artisans. ‘Cucina Povera’ refers to the Italian culinary tradition of crafting extraordinary dishes from humble, local ingredients. Even the winemakers - now often minor celebrities - were traditionally just humble farmers.
Special guest Kevin Bonanno will guide us through the wine pairings. Kevin has worked in the wine business since he was 12 years old and Kevin’s family has been in the wine business for over 100 years. He has been with Barone Trading Company since its inception in 2020.
