Tavolo Dello Chef

November 22, 2014

There are many things that I love and wine ranks #2...#1 being coffee! So I was eager to attend another Chef's Table at LaMotta's Italian Restaurant. This time he had 6 different wines with some tasty delights to go along with them. What Chef Carmelo does is invites people to his restaurant to sample some of his wines and he pairs them with some of his dishes so that you get to choose which you like with your food. I prefer white but his sweet red's are outstanding. My favorite though is his sangria. His white sangria is the best around! You just have to try it. 

 I do not know if you know this or not but Italy is famous for their wines. Why in my village alone there are 4 wineries that make Moscato, Pinot Grigio, Montepulciano and of course Chianti Classico. 

I always enjoy meeting new people and this time I met some new friends like Debbie and her boyfriend. Debbie is from Trinidad and I got to learn about the food they eat there....now I must say most of it is very different from anything this cannoli has ever had and I am not so sure I am brave enough to try it but I do like curry so perhaps I will try some of those. Being Italian and enjoying pasta, I was surprised that they do not use much pasta in their cooking. I thought pasta was everywhere!!!
