F

ood and wine pairings have
always been an important part of

menu creation for Chef Andres Avayú.
Before opening up Piccolo Ristorante
in 2013, Chef Andres and his wife
Alison sat down and tasted each of
their dishes with a variety of wines in
order to find the perfect pairing. And
on Tuesday April 12th 2016, they will
be offering their guests a very special
wine tasting and pairing dinner.

Piccolo Ristorante and Miami Wine
Buzz are both small, locally owned
businesses focused on bringing their
clients the highest quality food and
wine there is to offer. Miami Wine
Buzz specializes in offering unique

wines from boutique vineyards from
around the world. When asked about
working alongside Miami Wine Buzz
for this event Alison said, “We love
working with Miami Wine Buzz
because we feel that our small
restaurant and their small vineyards
have a unique story and offer
something special for our
guests. Our food and
their wines are
created with a
great deal of love.”

For this special
wine tasting and
pairing event,

Chef will be starting off with delicious
Butter Poached and Seared Sea
Scallops and Seared Foie Gras with a
Roasted Fig Puree paired with a
Callas 2011 wine. The second dish
will be fabulous homemade Ravioli
stuffed with Parmesan and
Marscapone and topped with a
creamy Parmesan Truffle sauce, paired
with a 2010 Arnaio from Tuscany. The
last wine is a 2011 Primitivo paired
with Chef’s homemade Cannelloni
pasta stuffed with Lamb Ragu and
topped with an Eggplant Pomodoro
sauce. To finish the evening, guests

will enjoy a Chef’s homemade

Limoncello sorbet. The dinner will

start at 6:30pm and guests can

contact Alison at Piccolo

Ristorante for reservations, a
