Italian Island Wine Dinner with Wine Director, Erin Dudley

Join us with a four-course meal paired with premium wines from sustainable artisanal producers of the Italian Islands!

At Caruso's, we love the wines made from grapes grown on Italian Islands. These coastal regions of Italy have rich, ancient wine histories and traditions producing wines of great finesse, minerality, and complexity. From Sicily to Sardegna, these Mediterranean styles are perfect for the Caruso's menu!

Join us for a four-course meal prepared by Chef/ Partner Matt Adler and Executive Chef Stuart Ameter. Each course will be meticulously paired with fine artisanal wines from Italian Island vineyards poured by the Neighborhood Restaurant Group Wine Director, Certified Sommelier, and Certified Specialist of Wine, Erin Dudley. Erin will introduce us to the regions, present each wine, and give insight into her pairing decisions and wine expertise.

Join Chef Matt, Chef Stuart and Erin for this premium dinner at Caruso's Grocery - Pike & Rose.
