FESTA DI FUNGHI – TRUFFLE WINE DINNER

Special guest Pascal Madevon of Osoyoos Larose

Thursday, November 25th @ 6:30pm
CinCin Ristorante will soon host one of Canada’s foremost wineries in an exclusive winemaker’s dinner starring Autumn’s earthy harvest and premier Okanagan wines.

A highlight of CinCin’s annual Mushroom and Truffle Festival ‘FESTA DI FUNGHI’, Chef de Cuisine Todd Howard, Restaurant Director Ricardo Ferreira and Wine Director Sarah McCauley will present a special multi-course menu designed to accentuate the subtle nuances of each course and its accompanying wine.

Osoyoos Larose’s winemaker and vineyard manager, Pascal Madevon, will guide guests through a descriptive evening showcasing their portfolio of Bordeaux-inspired reds, as well as a personally-selected sparkling and white wine. To conclude the evening, Mr. Madevon will lead an exploratory component tasting of the newly released 2009 vintage of Osoyoos Larose’s flagship wine, Le Grand Vin.
