Kinley’s, Catena & Pablo Piccolo
Dear Oenophile
I know there is a lot going on but I’m tossing this out there because the wines are worthy and Brett (Kinley’s) can cook a good plate.
On Wednesday March 28th, 6pm, at Kinley’s Restaurant, national sale manager Pablo Piccolo will be introducing the excellent wines of Bodega Catena Zapata. Not familiar? Well, Nicolas Catena is the Argentine version of Robert Mondavi. In fact the two have had many, many conversations, but I will defer to Mr. Piccolo who grew up there.
Pricing is $85 person non inclusive! Reservations may be made with Kinley’s at 907 644 8953.
