M'tucci's Special Dinners

/

M’tucci’s Special Dinners are back, featuring three dinners with local favorites: Sheehan Winery, La Cumbre Brewing and Hollow Spirits Distillery. Each of the five-course dinners will focus on regional Italian cuisine. A Roman menu will be paired with La Cumbre beers and ales at M’tucci’s Twenty-Five on April 5, food from the Piedmont will be paired with cocktails from Hollow Spirits at M’tucci’s Moderno on April 6, and the food of Tuscany will pair with Sheehan Wines at M’tucci’s Italian on April 7. All dinners require an advance reservation and are $75 per person. Please call the restaurant to reserve.

The dinner menus were a collaboration between Company Chef/Partner Shawn Cronin, the chefs from each location, and the owners of each of the local beverage companies. Jeff Erway, Frank Holloway and Sean Sheehan will be present at their respective dinners to introduce the beverages chosen for each course.

The first dinner at M’tucci’s Twenty-Five will feature dishes that will be on the menu at the new M’tucci’s Bar Roma, slated to open in Nob Hill in April. Don’t miss this chance for a sneak peek at the new menu.

M’tucci’s Twenty-Five & La Cumbre Brewing - April 5 @ 6:30

La Cumbre Brewing has been producing local award-winning beers and ales since 2010. Owner Jeff Erway will join us to introduce the beers for the evening. Visit their local taprooms at 3313 Girard NE and 5600 Coors Blvd NW.

While the chefs were familiar with the beers at La Cumbre and had a pretty good idea of what they wanted to serve with the dinner, the wines (Sheehan currently bottles more than 20 varietals) and the cocktails for the other two dinners required more thought - and tasting. Recent tastings were held to create the menus for the dinners with Sheehan and Hollow Spirits.

Sean Sheehan started Sheehan Winery in 2015 and produces a long list of whites, rosé, reds and ports made exclusively from grapes grown in New Mexico. He selected 10 for us to taste and the chefs chose five of the wines for the dinner at M’tucci’s Italian. If you have not had Sheehan wines, you are in for a very special dinner. Sean is a passionate winemaker and his wines reflect the care and that passion.

Stop by their tasting room at 303 Romero St. NW in Old Town.
