Wine Dinner: Italian Wines Meet French Food At Arlington’s La Cote d’Or Restaurant

SOLD OUT!  Contact us for a spot on the wait list!  Join us for a five wine, six-course, feast as we pair up our favorite wine-loving chef with one of the area’s most exciting Italian wine importers.  Italian wine culture is all about food and wine working together at table. But great Italian wines shouldn’t be limited to just Italian cuisine – as you’ll see when you join us on Wednesday, September 26, they work with any food built on great ingredients and balanced, complex, flavors.

Which is just how Chef Jacques Imperato at La Cote d’Or loves to cook.  He’s built us a classic French menu that will shine with wines from Tuscany, the Marche, Piemonte and more.  Here’s what you’ll enjoy:

Bell peppers Basquaise in citrus and virgin olive oil
