[wine] any takers?

Wouldn't you love a weeklong tour of the Italian countryside, sampling the famous regional cuisines and wines of one of the world's most romantic countries? Sure--now back to reality. If an Italian vacation isn't on your agenda this summer, the next best thing may be *Pazzaluna* <http://www.citypages.com/locations/pazzaluna-urban-trattoria-and-bar-153945>'s "Tour of Italy" wine dinner on Wednesday, June 3. The five-course meal takes diners on a culinary tour of the country, starting in Umbria with prosciutto-wrapped watermelon paired with a Salviano Orvieto Classico Superiore. Next, it's on to salad from Tuscany and a Nozzole Chardonnay. Then to Sicily and a lamb cannelloni with a Feudo Maccari Nero d'Avola-Syrah "ReNoto"; back to Tuscany for herb-roasted strip loin, accompanied by a Cabreo Cabernet-Sangiovese; and finally to Piedmont and a poached peach with cardamom mascarpone, paired with a Michelle Chiarlo Moscato d'Asti "Nivole." Quite a trip for $55. Make your reservations for the 6:30 dinner by calling 651.223.7000.
