Great Food, New Friends…

Mario invited me to experience first-hand his cooking lessons. The afternoon turned out to be an intimate group of six people, Mario accepts a maximum of 12 people typically, and everyone was friendly and talkative. Greeted by a simple place setting, a menu and ingredients listing and tasting spoons along the kitchen bar, we were able to look over the amazing course we would soon learn to make ourselves.

Sting!

…so we're walking out of Nobu in Hawaii, and who do we run into? I couldn't believe it! This guy is my favourite!

This evening we had a fantastic dinner sponsored by Moet-Chandon. The night was perfect with special flower arrangements and settings and the guests energetic and the evening going very late. Pascal Tingaud and Mario prepared a course complimentary to the bubbly and wines being served. What most may perceive as an uncommon collaboration between French and Italian chefs resulted in a feast for the eyes and palette! Just goes to show that world peace IS possible! Take a look and join us the next time!

“Tenuta di Capezzana” Maker’s Dinner
Date April, 22nd (WED)

Wine jars and tasting cups found in Etruscan tombs dating to approximately 1000 BC show that vines have been cultivated in Carmignano since Pre Roman times. 
More specifically, a parchment rent contract conserved in the Florence State Archives, dated 804, reveals that vines and olives were cultivated at Capezzana for the production of oil and wine as early as 1200 years ago.
In the early Renaissance, Monna Nera Bonaccorsi built the first ‘Nobleman’s house’ and nine farmhouses together with wine-making buildings at Capezzana. Numerous generations and families followed: the Cantucci, relations of the Medici, and the Marchesi Bourbon del Monte. In the Eighteenth century the wife of Marquis Bourbon, née Cantucci, enlarged the estate and increased the number of farms; her greatest achievement, however, was to introduce exemplary administrative practices, evidence of which can be found in the estate’s historic archive.
After the Bourbons the property passed to the Adimari Morelli and then to the Franchetti.
Sara de Rothschild, widow of Baroni Franchetti, sold it to the Contini Bonacossi.
