Poggiotondo Tuscan Wine Dinner
Reception 6:30 Dinner 7:00
$89 plus Tax and Gratuity
Call 303 690 1025
In the north-western corner of the Chianti region, resting on the hills between the Montalbano and Arno valleys, 123 acres of vines are joined by some 2,000 olive trees on the Poggiotondo estate. Founder and winemaker Alberto Antonini is a scholar of modern winemaking, building on the knowledge of generations of Tuscan winegrowers before him through studies at the University of Florence, Bordeaux University, and University of California Davis. Ten years honing his skills with Tuscan leaders Frescobaldi, d’Orcia and Antinori led to winemaking stints in the United States, before establishing his own oenological consultancy company. While Alberto’s projects now span the globe, none provide the opportunity to express his deepest winemaking convictions more succinctly than these Tuscan vineyards, where he lives with his wife Alessandra and their three children.

Longtime customer always exceptional service, wonderful atmosphere and excellent cuisine and always has the best recommendations for wine pairings. Tonight we picked up the special, bison filet for takeout. They had forgotten one of the sides. The owner personally delivered the side and an extra one himself. This personal touch goes a long way! Highly recommend Wine Experience for a great meal with attention to detail! Thank you Mr. Larsen!
This was my first time at this wonderful restaurant! Our waitress was Fabulous. The owner stopped by to introduce himself to us. We each had a wine flight and decided to share appetizers. Everything was so good! Thank you wine experience for a great evening. We will certainly be back!
Took my dad for dinner and couldn't of been happier with the service! The owner came by (eldon) and told us an amazing story about the wine we picked and all sorts of interesting facts. We ordered the calamari and brassiere plate and it was delicious! 10/10 would recommend!
This is a great local restaurant and one of few non-chains in this area. Every time we eat here the food is consistently great and Sheldon gives great wine recommendations to pair with your meal. Their regular menu is pretty diverse, they have good happy hour specials - and I also really like their nightly specials (prime rib night is a really good deal) and wine dinners. This is definitely a place to try - Oso Bucco is my favorite!
My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here. We were sat near the fireplace which was a perfect setting. The staff was so attentive and knowledgeable. The food was mouth watering and so delicious! The wine selection had a great variety. We cannot wait to come again!
