The holidays are fast approaching, with all the wine, revelry and gift-giving that entails. But have you brushed up on your vino expertise in time for the season? There’s still time! One of our favorite restaurants, Casa Luca, will be hosting “Casper’s Selections for Holiday Entertaining & Gift Giving” on Saturday, December 5 at 1:30 p.m. For $150 and over a selection of artisan cheeses and fine cured meats, Fiola’s wine director Casper Rice will share his suggestions for the wines you need on your Thanksgiving and Christmas tables, or to give as holiday gifts to friends, family, clients or coworkers.
