Cari amici e care amiche,
November celebrates the traditional Settimana della Cucina Italiana and this year we have organized an event very much Italian in fun and hospitality with the Dante’s own certified sommelier and board member, Mary Arnold, who is going to take us on a journey of regional wines and aziende vinicole she visited over the years. Her fascinating presentation will be in English. Come with friends! In addition, later in the month, the Italian Embassy will sponsor Italian menus by wonderful Ottawa restaurants. Keep an eye on our website for updates.
Looking forward to seeing you!
