The fact that the dinner took place in Barrington simply added some drive time (Route 59 is not the easy drive it once was).
Of the half-dozen or so wine dinners which Lauren and I have attended, it would be difficult to select the one that was head-and-shoulders above the rest... Having said that
Francesca's and its staff put together one very fine evening that featured the wines of Michele Chiarlo (pronounced "Mee-KELL-a Kee-AR-lo", as close as I can tell) from the Piedmont region of Italy (in the upper northwest corner).
The Piedmont -- also known as Piemonte in Italian, which literally means "at the foot of the mountain" -- is one of the most famous wine regions in the world; they are renowned for boutique wineries. And from what I can tell after dinner last night, Michele Chiarlo likely produces some of the best wines from that region; more on that later. Read the entire review here.
