Ferraro’s Italian Restaurant & Wine Bar invites guests to travel to The Santa Lucia Highlands, the finest wine region in California. On Saturday, Aug. 22 at 6 p.m., guests will “tour” the Clarice Wine Company. Each wine will be paired with a specially prepared dish by Executive Chef Francesco DiCaudo. The menu and wine pairing are offered for $150 per person, all inclusive.
