Summary
Vega Sicilia wines from Spain, a legendary winery, had the owner visit Bacco, and Luchiano created a special dinner to pair with the wines. Starting was Hamachi( Iberia ham crisp, romesco, lemon confit) paired with the 2010 Oremus Dry Mandolas.

Saffron( Risotto, BRAISED ROOSTER(yes..was very very chewy), Bacco cockscombe)paired with 2011 Alion Ribero Del Duero. Rabbit( stuffed, creamy polenta, spring peas, alloy de Manzana, paired with 2009 Vega Sicilia Valbuena. Beef( American A5 Kobe, braised leeks, glazed Yukon potato, tempranillo reduction) paired with 2003 Vega Sicilia Unico. The hamachi, cheers, & kobe were my favorites. A true dining & wine experience.
