Chef Sam
Says...
When this much-heralded
'97 vintage Campaccio was released, I purchased just
about all of the bottles that came into Connecticut. Now
it's at it's peak for drinking and it's time for all of
us to enjoy what such a superb "Super Tuscan" is all
about. Salute!

Believe

Sea Salt is all natural, has less
sodium and more flavor than regular salt... A
favorite here Trattoria Carl Anthony! |
