Wine Dinner: An Evening With Stag’s Leap
Our very own Jessica Brown planned and designed this exclusive dinner at Gene & Georgetti with Stag’s Leap, featuring wine maker Marcus Notato as well as brand ambassador Patrizia Lello for a four-course menu that was inspired by the Stag’s Leap label.
Gene & Georgetti head chef Cristiano Bassani and Michelle were both inspired by the stag on the label, and wanted to connect the wine dinner to the Italian roots of the restaurant. From there a menu born of the northern Italian “boschi” (forests) came to life!
