Tuscan Wine Dinner at Panzanella

Last Tuesday we enjoyed an amazing wine dinner at Panzanella Italian Restaurant in Sherman Oaks.  The event was put on by the Duke of Bourbon, a rare wine and spirit retailer in Canoga Park.  Each month they organize different events for their customers that highlight some of the unique wines currently offered in their store.  For this particular dinner they had a representative from Winebow, one of the largest importers and distributors of International wines, take us through a 5 course meal paired with wines from Tuscany. 
Some highlights of the meal included:
 Crispy Rice with Ahi Tuna Tartare paired with 
NV Zardetto Prosecco Cuvee Brut 
Octopus Carpaccio with 2007 Altesino, Rosso di Altesino, Super Tuscan
Artesian Rigatoni with Veal and Porcini Mushroom Ragu paired with 
2006 Castello di Bossi, Chianti Classico
Roasted Breast of Duck with Polenta and a Cherry Port Wine Sauce paired with 
2006 Poggio a Tesoro, Sondraia, Super Tuscan

The evening was definitely a treat.  For more information on the wines or Panzanella check out the links above.
