I was reminded during a recent trip to Italy of how patriotic people were in their wine selections. It’s elementary, really: you live in Tuscany, you mainly drink wines from Tuscany. When a wine producer from Tuscany wants to host an Italian wine dinner in Jamaica the venue list must include multi-award-winning restaurant Italian restaurant Toscanini.Thankfully, the North-South highway makes it effortless to attend an event on the border of St Mary and Ocho Rios, and as such we were able to attend and experience The King of Tuscany event with wines by Castello di Banfi and a six-course dinner prepared by Pierluigi ‘PG’ Ricci, chef/patron, Toscanini.
