Beginning Thursday, November 2^nd, The Grand Cru at Nick & Toni’s will embark again on “Getaway Thursdays” their 3^rd season of region-specific wine pairing events. Each evening begins with a walk around tasting reception including passed appetizers and a welcome wine, regional aperitivo, or spritz. Dinners are held in Nick & Toni’s middle and back dining rooms; four seated courses are thoughtfully paired with indigenous grape varieties and the culinary team led by Chef de Cuisine Courtney Sypher-Barylski and Executive Pastry Chef Kelsey Roden prepares one-of-a-kind menus spotlighting authentic regional dishes. Getaways are created by Honest Man Hospitality Beverage Director Chimene Macnaughton, and co-hosted by retail partner Jacques Franey of Domaine Franey. Attendees are able to pre-order each evening’s wines at event-only pricing through Domaine Franey during the event. Guests are led through the wines by an industry insider/expert rooted in the region or regions being explored. November’s dinner will be joined by Kevin Russell, Italian Portfolio Manager for David Bowler Wine. Kevin will guide guests through Tuscany’s famed grapes – both classic and “super” varieties; sharing his producers’ stories with good humor and the sense of vinous discovery that’s become the hallmark of these special evenings.

“Experiential hospitality is my favorite kind and who doesn’t need an alt-island getaway from our own island in the depths of January? ‘Getaway Thursdays’ are tasting dinners designed around wine-themed escapes. From the A in Austria to the Z in indigenous Sicilian Zibbibo, we explore the world’s wine regions paired to delicious one-night-only menus crafted by the skilled culinary team at Nick & Toni’s.” Chimene Macnaughton, Beverage Director, Honest Man Hospitality.
