Hello Family

Welcome to October and another new Italian wine feature. This month we are going back to the area around Verona, Italy to the Tenuta Sant'Antonio winery. The winery, like many in Italy, is family owned and run by the Castagnedi brothers. The wine is called “Scaia” and it is 100% Corvina grapes. If the Corvina grape sounds familiar you might be a Valpolicella fan as Valpolicella is produced with a blend of grapes including Corvina.

 The wine is a lovely ruby red with purple glints and an aroma of red rose and wild black cherry. It is a medium body well -balanced wine pairing well with our flavorful tomato sauces especially our Vodka Cream. It is a very versatile easy drinking wine that can easily work well with our Chicken Vesuvio or Lamb Ragu specials.  We hope you enjoy!

As hard as it is to believe, the holiday season is just around the corner and Clara's is ready to serve you! While we are not open for lunch, we do host private lunch events for 20 or people Tuesday – Sunday. Or, you can have an evening office holiday party in one of beautiful new private rooms that can accommodate up to 90 people. Visit our website Banquet page for more information or give Lisa Schilling our Special Events Manager a call at 630-968-8899.
