Special European Wine Dinner

The Statler French American Bistro in Detroit has launched a monthly European wine dinner which runs through November of 2024. This month’s adventure on March 20 is themed “Dall’Italia Con Amore,” and will take participants on a wine and food journey to Italy. The organizers point out that “pairing food with wine doesn’t have to be a daunting task. Basically, what grows together, goes together. In this fun and educational voyage, we’ll guide you through three distinct regions of Italy via glass and plate.” The first course includes an antipasto board complete with Chef Vince’s house-made focaccia bread. The board is paired with Ferrari Brut Rosé, Trentino. For the second course, guests will enjoy carbonara tagliatelle-a crispy pancetta with peas and Pecorino Romano that is paired with Mastroberardino Greco di Tufo, Campania. The third course features braised short rib with wild mushroom and truffle risotto paired with Carapace Montefalco Sagrantino, Umbria. Please note that menu items and wine selections are subject to change. Tickets are $99 per person, tax and gratuity not included.
