Paring wines will also be served to complement the savory and enticing food prepared, making it possible to the audience to relish this entire experience to its full extent.This fourth event will feature Chef Giorgio Rapicavoli from 660 @ The Angler’s with the regional cuisine of Piemonte and Chef Fabio Vaccarella from Puntino Key Biscayne with the regional cuisine of Campania.
