Slow Food Columbus announces...
First Anniversary Dinner: Traditions of Sardinia
Rigsby’s Kitchen
698 N. High St, Columbus
Monday, March 2, 7:00 p.m.
To celebrate the first anniversary of the founding of a Slow Food convivium in Columbus, Slow Food member Kent Rigsby has offered to host a dinner for us at his consistently top-rated restaurant, Rigsby’s Kitchen. As an homage to Slow Food’s Italian roots, it will be a classic Italian five course wine dinner emphasizing the cuisine of Sardinia, consisting of antipasti, primi, secondi, formaggi, and dolce (handmade Seadas -- a rare treat!) Each course will be paired with a different wine for a unique opportunity so try an array of dynamic flavors. Antonella Mancini, whose Sardinian wine will be one of the features of the evening, will be in attendance to discuss her wines. Come join us at Rigsby's for an evening of taste, tradition and fun!
