The next course is pasta--Orecchiete, an ear shaped pasta served with red wine braised Pugliese style sausage, chopped Swiss chard and shaved pecorino romano paired with Aglianico Barrique (Campania). The entrée course is a Filet--medallions of beef tenderloin and porcini mushrooms with a veal reduction paired with Barbaresco (Piemonte). The dessert is a Fresh Berry Tart -- mascarpone filled pastry topped with fresh assorted berries paired with Moscato (Veneto).
