Producer Dinner: I Clivi

Friday, January 17, 6:30-9:30PM
$75 for 18 Reasons members, $85 for the general public

I Clivi is located in northeastern Italy in the Colli Orientali region, on the first range of hills that rise from the plains leading to the sea. They specialize in native varieties and posess some spectacular old vines.

The idea for this dinner was formed in the back seat of the van after leaving the winery. Trac Le, Bi-rite Market's Wine Buyer, and Tom Switzer, former Chef and Wine Rep Extraordinaire, were so moved by what they'd had just experienced, that they couldn't wait to bring I Clivi to the 18 Reasons table.
