Dinner with Biondi Santi Sparks Steak House

 

With JACOPO BIONDI SANTI





SPARK'S TEAK HOUSE

New York, NY


I haven't been to Spark's Steak House in quite a long time and I'm thinking I'm due for a trip back to a place where I had one of the most wonderful dinners in my entire life. The special dinner in question was an Italian Wine Dinner that I was invited to by Jacopo Biondi Santi and his wine distributor in New York, Martin Scott Wines. The dinner was amazing. There were just 15 of us lucky folks who were the top Italian Wine and restaurant people in New York and I was utterly honored to be there. We had Baked Clams Orenatat, Stuffed Mushrooms, and all sorts of tasty Italian Appetizers sot start, which were later followed with a tasty New York Cut Sirloin Steak for each one of us. Along with the meal, of course we drank Jacopo's fine wines from his family Montalcino Estate Biondi Santi. We drank Sassoalloro a Super Tuscan Wine made of 100% Sangiovese Grosso. We drank their other Super Tuscan "Schidione" made form a blend of Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. And then of course we drank the wine that Biondi Santi is most famous for (this family invented it), Brunello di Montalcino, of which we tasted 3 different vintages. Everything was absolutely amazing. With dessert, Jacopo served us Biondi Santi's wonderful luxurious Moscadello di Montalcino dessert wine to end one of the most wonderful meals imaginable. Imagine it if you will? Steaks at one of the most famous Steak Houses (Spark's) in the entire World, with tasty Italian Antipasti, and drinking Brunello and other fine wines with Jacopo Biondi Santi, the great great grandson of Clemente Santi the man who created the first Brunello, way back in 1865 in the town of Montalcino, Italy.
