"The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age." 

Lucille Ball

There is nothing that is quite as decadent as white truffles but if you are going to pair a wine with this unique culinary experience Nebbiolo would be my first, second and third choice.  The Piedmont is one of the world's most unique grape growing regions and is the only area where the Nebbiolo varietal makes a high-quality age worthy wine.  This is also the only part of the world where you find the white truffle.   These truly unique fungi are not only very intense in flavor but also incredibly expensive pound for pound the most expensive food in the world today.  This is one of the only times when it comes to food and wine where the food almost always costs more than the wine here at our “Once in a Lifetime” events at the Wine Watch.

Join us as we experience one of the rare culinary treats alongside some of the great wine producers of the Piedmont with a selection of every top wine that Angelo Gaja makes in the Piedmont along with some other great producers from epic vintages now fully mature.  Chef Toni Lampasone will be making a special tasting menu to accompany the wines.  The fee for this event is $595.00 + tax, for reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com.
