ERNIE’S ITALIAN CHOPHOUSE TO HOST EXCLUSIVE BELL WINE DINNER
Tuesday, June 26, 2012
Ernie’s Italian Chophouse is the new tucked-away dining destination shining brightly in Lighthouse Point and the namesake first restaurant of Florida nightlife veteran and Brooklyn native Ernie Patti. On Tuesday, June 26, 2012, Patti, and Executive Chef Gary Wood, will dazzle with an exclusive wine dinner with Bell Wines from California. The special menu, served promptly at 7:00 p.m. and with limited seating, will embrace the big, bold flavors that Ernie’s is known for with a more contemporary spin. “Wine dinners are a great chance to experiment and serve dishes that might not be on the menu but possibly could,” commented Wood. “We’re excited for our diners to experience the surprising flavors we have in store.”
