| 30.07.2009 Wine festival of Pinot Grigio (July 31 – August 9) |
As you may know, Italians don’t work in August (more or less). Anyway, a lot of good/fine/reliable restaurants are definitely closed in August. Bad for tourists but good for those who work in all those restaurants. The reason for such a foreword is very simple – to underline the fact that the osteria is working at normal pace, chef Passalacqua is here as well and on top of all that, there is a new wine festival dedicated to Pinot Grigio! Isn’t it good to stay in Kiev in August, ah?!!

Both cru wines (Terre Vineate and Campo del Guardiano) show a lot of sophistication and power while not at a cost of jeopardy to the innate harmony of the wines. On the red part of the wine festival we propose a line of Super-Tuscans from Castello del Terriccio: a Sangiovese thoroughbred Capannino and two vintages (2003 и 2004) of the Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese blend called Tassinaia.

| 20.03.2009 Wine festival of Toscana from Michele Satta (March 20 - 29) |
Our previous festival was dedicated to the wines of Grattamacco from the Bolgheri region of Tuscany. The new festival continues the Bolgheri theme: this time we will show the wines of Michele Satta, one of the pioneers of winemaking in Bolghery. All his wines are very easy to enjoy. The whites include Costa di Giulia from Vermentino and Sauvignon and Giovin Re made from rare Viognier grape. Among the red ones are two sophisticatedly assembled super-tuscans (Bolgheri Rosso, made from a team of five grapes and Piastraia, made from equal parts of Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah and Sangiovese) as well as a thoroughbread Sangiovese properly called Cavaliere.
Finally, just a few quotes from the new specials of our chef Costantino Passalacqua: home-made black spaghetti with seafood ragout; potato gnocchi with farm chicken liver in tomato sauce; deboned sea bream with asparagus poached in white wine.
