Summer Afternoon
Sommelier Michael Garofola of Genoa is partnering up with champagne and wine expert David Speer of Ambonnay for an exciting “Burgers and Barolo” event.

Time: 3pm-6pm
Location: Atrium of the Olympic Mills Building at 107 SE Washington St.

With outdoor space and some summer sun, the party will feature six exquisite wines from Genoa's cellar. Come sample a bottle of Cappellano 2006 "Pie Rupestris" we've been waiting to open until now! Plus, Dulce, of Accanto, will be cooking a delicious burger.
Tickets for the event are $48 per person and can be purchased by visiting burgersandbarolo.eventbrite.com.
