another in the cool, intimate wine & food series. Vintimate...A Taste of Tuscany, unveils a sleek, sexy look into the foods and ideas that were inspired from the dinner my cohort and partner in wine-crime put together. For those that recall, we used to present a plethora of awesome food and wine series dubbed as our GlItalicobal Taste Series, which was all about looking at a different culture, country, city, style, and season. It would conjure up thoughts and notions about that original food scene and style and reinterpret that through my own mind and thoughts and end up becoming presented in a modernistic northwest contemporary nature. Authentic...hell no. Traditional...hell no. Fun, new and inspiring...hell yes! We took a break, but have rekindled that flirting flame with this new intimate wine & food dinner series...enter Vintimate~
