The Family Place in Salem Since 1991
Wine Dinner
Thursday, April 11, 2002, 6:00 pm

On Thursday, April 11th, 2002, the Caffé Graziani hosted what was the first of many wine dinners.

The menu highlighted Chef Giovanni's talents, from appetizers of rolled stuffed eggplant to the main course of Chicken with Portobello mushrooms to our lovely fresh berries and ice cream for dessert. Each course was paired with a different wine carefully chosen by Giovanni and our wine expert, Bruce Abbey of Ruby Wines.

Giovanni and Paula began preparations early that day to set the atmosphere.
