Chef Matt’s gnocchi and
Novelty Hill’s Sangiovese were the stars of the dinner.
Good news, Matt has finely
agreed to make his “no egg” gnocchi for the restaurant…. But only once a month
and then if it turns out. His “no egg” gnocchi is a labor of love. Thanks Matt!
Bad news, Novelty Hill’s
Sangiovese is sold out at the winery….
