Duo Restaurant & Sunset Corners are proud to announce an evening of food and wine
with Marco Bacci, owner and winemaker for Castello di Bossi in Tuscany, Italy.
With classy style and a thousand years of history, Castello di Bossi crafts elegant
yet powerful wines, with unmistakable Tuscan character. The Bossi Castle is located
in the town of Castelnuovo Berardenga town, the southernmost appellation of
Chianti Classico, amidst evergreen wo Big Grinods and long rows of vines. Its history dates
back to the 9th century. The estate has embraced modern technology, while at the
same time respecting the traditional character of the lands of Chianti, and this has
allowed for development and full growth potential. These were the essential goals
of Marco Bacci as he brought Castello di Bossi to the highest rank in the realm
of international wine. Marco Bacci is the master-mind of all operations. He follows,
with care, all the details from beginning to the end. In the last ten years he has added
two properties, Renieri in Montalcino and Terre di Talamo in Morellino di Scansano
appellation. Today Marco and his brother Maurizio own one of the best pools of estates
existing in Tuscany, creating the best quality of the top Tuscan appellations.

Our hosts for the evening are Chef Maria and Husband-Sommelier Charlie
whom will be orchestrating the evening. Chef Maria has created an
exciting 4-course menu designed to compliment Bacci's Tuscan
masterpieces perfectly. Those of you whom have had the opportunity to
dine at Duo know that Duo's Chef Frumkin regularly turns out both
innovative and delicious food, while wine director Charlie has created a
dynamic and ever changing wine program. Together they have created a
jewel in the landscape of fine dining in Miami.

I recently read in the newspaper that this place closed. Can any of the floridians confirm this?
I had dinner at this restaurant last month and truly enjoyed. It is sad to see that some other excellent restaurants in Miami are closing (Norman's in Coral Gables also closed recently)

I guess all people want down here are "moros con cristianos" Smile
