Pappas Bros. Steakhouse will present an evening celebrating Altare wines. Considered by many to be one of the top winemakers in Barolo, Elio Altare was a true pioneer in bringing Piedmont wines to the global wine scene. His daughter (and now owner of the winery), Silvia Altare, will guide guests through some of the family’s top bottlings. This will be an evening of history, progress and some of the best wine Barolo has to offer.
