Wine Dinner at the Story Inn

On September 2,2011  I was invited to host a wine dinner at the Story Inn in Nashville IN.   We decided to feature wines of Giacomo Vico of Piedmont/Italy. 
Chef Erin created a wonderful menu & Rick Hofstaetter, the owner of the Story Inn , was the perfect host. The event was sold out right away.
Menu:
Mussels in white wine with Story Inn lemon basil served with 2010 Roero Arneis, docg.
Gnocchi with porcini mushroom sauce accompanied by Langhe Rosso NV (08 Barbera/07 Nebbiolo blend)
Agnolotti with tomato sauce and fresh roasted heirloom tomatoes was matched with 2009 Langhe Nebbiolo, doc
Brasato al Barolo with creamy polenta had a beautiful bold Barbera d'Alba 2009, doc with it.

Fresh roasted pears drizzled with honey, walnuts and Gorgonzola were served with ice cold BIRBET (sweet low alcoholic Bracchetto)
