No country in the world has more unique and distinctive varietals of grapes than Italy. So in what will be one of the most interesting and challenging battles of all - the Los Olivos Wine Merchant & Cafe will put the Golden Boot to the test in a 5-course wine dinner in our Blind Wine Dinner series. Santa Barbara vs. Italy.  Wine Director Jon McDaniel will select 5 wines that represent a fantastic representation of Italy, pairing one Italian wine with each of the 5-courses prepared by Executive Chef Chris Joslyn.  Along with each Italian wine, there will be a local wine paired as well.  Your palate will be the ultimate judge to see which wine wins your taste buds!  All of the 10 wines will be served blind, so you will have your senses be the one making the decision.  As with all of our wine dinners, reservations are required and seats will fill up fast.  Come join the debate to see how Santa Barbara stacks up against the land of amore!
