Wine enthusiasts mark your calendars — Il Fornaio has planned two enticing five-course wine dinners. On September 22, get acquainted with Mazzoni, a blend of fine grape varieties created by two distinguished winemaking families, the Franceschi (Montalcino) and Terlato (Napa) — a partnership that has flourished for more than 30 years. On October 27, enjoy wines by Rodney Strong, a family-operated vineyard dedicated to handcrafting wines using sustainable farming techniques. Sip Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot, and other luscious wines perfectly paired with Il Fornaio chef Roberto Gerbino’s Italian feast. The cost for each dinner is $55 per person.
