On Tuesday, August 23, Leonardo Nicotra from Caruso & Minini in Sicily, Italy is coming to Double Zero to lead guests through a fabulous, four-course wine tasting starting at 7 p.m.  The tasting begins with cantaloupe and prosciutto bruschetta paired with Caruso & Minini Inzolia '08.  Round two calls for Caruso & Minini Grillo Timpune '08 served with rancini -- lemon saffron risotto croquettes with peas, red pepper scamorza cheese, roasted yellow pepper coulis and Meyer lemon honey.  Next up is Double Zero's much-loved Margherita pizza topped with DOP San Marzano tomatoes, Mozzarella di Bufala Campana DOP and basil and served with Caruso & Minini Nero D' Avola '07.  Finally, course four ends the night on a sweet note with a strawberry Napoleon of fresh strawberries, lemon crème and strawberry basil compote in puff pastry.  Cost for the event is $39 per person (excluding tax and tip).  Make your reservations in advance by calling 404-991-3666.
