Two Nights in Sicily
A trip to our lineage, poured one glass at a time.
A trip to our lineage, poured one glass at a time.
For two nights this July, Buon Cibo is turning the evening over to Sicily.
This is more than a wine tasting. It is a night of volcanic wines, Sicilian food, family history, and the kind of Italian hospitality that makes you want to stay at the table a little longer.
Five Sicilian Wines, One Surprise Wine, One Night Across the Island.
The wine lineup for Sicily Night was built to feel like a trip across Sicily, from bright and refreshing whites to volcanic Etna wines and bold Nero d’Avola.
We’ll begin with Gaudensius Blanc de Noir, crisp, floral, and refreshing with orange and almond blossom. From there, you’ll taste Nativ Grillo with bright yellow citrus, green apple, almond, and honey; Etna Bianco with clean citrus and vibrant acidity; Etna Rosso with wild strawberry, sour cherry, smoke, and a medium-bodied finish; and Harmonium Nero d’Avola, rich and elegant with bold dark fruit and spice.
This is a wine lineup for both sides of the table: serious enough for wine lovers, approachable enough for anyone who simply wants a beautiful Sicilian night out.
And yes, there will be food.
The Buon Cibo kitchen will be serving a Sicilian-inspired menu with pinsa, Pasta alla Norma, braised beef, Sicilian salad, roasted vegetables, and chef’s choice dessert.
$85 per ticket | Saturday, July 18 (2 tickets left) or Thursday, July 23
5:30 PM - 8:00 PM each evening
Five Sicilian wines, one served blind. A full Sicilian menu. A guest speaker on the history of Little Italy San Diego. And a personal trip through Tom’s Sicilian roots, right here in Scripps Ranch.
