Cooking and Wine Pairing with Vicki Sebastiani

Wednesday, September 23

2-4 p.m. PT | 3-5 p.m. MT | 4-6 p.m. CT | 5-7 p.m. ET

Cuciniamo! Put on your apron and let's start cooking! Join Vicki on a zoom call for another L3 member participation virtual event. 


This one is going to be delicious… You'll make Pollo Saltimbocca Con Pesto (Chicken Saltimbocca with Pesto Sauce) -- and nibble on Formaggio All'aglio Arrostito (Brie with Roasted Garlic) along with a glass of wine while you prepare it.


First – we're off to the grocery store. Here is what you'll want to have on hand in your kitchen or pick up – plus info about Vicki's cookbook Cucina Viansa, and a link to order your Highway 12 wine.

Formaggio All'aglio Arrostito

CUCINA VIANSA COOKBOOK:

These recipes are from Vicki's previously published cookbook, Cucina Viansa. The book is out of print, but the recipes will be sent to you prior to the class. If you'd like to purchase one, there are still some available on Amazon.com​.a

HIGHWAY 12 WINES:

Recommended Highway 12 wines (Vicki's family) follow and are available at 25% discount. Simply go HERE​ to select and order any wines you want. Use discount code L325. Please allow 7 days for the wine to get to you.

As most of you know, Vicki is a firm believer in drinking what wine you enjoy– but if you're looking for direction, try:

Carneros Chardonnay or Highway 12 Merlot with the Brie with Roasted Garlic.

Chicken Saltimbocca would be great with Highwayman Fume Blanc; the Carneros Pinot Noir; or Highway 12 Sauvignon Blanc; Chardonnay; Pinot Noir; or even the Highway 12 Reserve Syrah.
