Sometimes there are evenings where the food and wine are simply perfect, both on their own and especially when paired together. Those nights are unforgettable. One such evening I was fortunate enough to participate in was a special Sassicaia dinner at Vivere restaurant at the Italian Village in Chicago.
The Italian Village is celebrating its 92nd year in Chicago with the same family ownership, which is a remarkable fact, as you’d be hard pressed to find a similar situation in Italy. So what better place to host a dinner with eight different vintages of Sassicaia, conducted by Priscilla Incisa della Rocchetta, a member of the family that owns Tenuta San Guido, where this legendary Tuscan wine is produced.
