Bottle of White, Bottle of Red

For those who think that wine makes the world go ’round, this was the show for you.

Jon Herrera, Jamie Slone, Matt Russell & Jason Blackburn

We came to you live this weekend from Tavolino Ristorante Italiano, with celebrity co-host Jamie Slone of Jamie Slone Wines! Jamie shared a bit of his personal journey, from the driver’s seat of a stock car to the vineyards of Santa Barbara County, and revealed what’s behind his early success in the wine business. We also had the opportunity to taste his scrumptious 2012 Pinot Noir, 2013 Aloysius Chardonnay, and a Super Tuscan that he hasn’t yet released. Wow. We were then joined by Tavolino bar man Jon Herrera who discussed some of his Italian-inspired cocktails, including one made with rye whiskey, Demerara, Madeira and a pipe tobacco tincture! Our featured guest was Tavolino manager Jason Blackburn who teased us a bit on his Valentine’s menu. How about heart-shaped ravioli filled with ricotta, mascarpone and spinach, served with brown butter, balsamic and toasted walnuts? Love is in the air at Tavolino!
