Mario Bagella is coming all the way from Sardinia
Sunday the 19th at 11 am Mario is hosting a Brunch at Tipo!$75/person
I'm really excited Mario Bagella is coming from Sardinia for Maine Wild Wine Fest. I was trying to come up with other events to do with him so I sat down and asked myself what I personally wanted. I wanted brunch with eggs and espresso and cannoli and to get to hang out and hear all about wine making and the history of Sardinia. I called Tipo and they made it happen! Dreams do come true sometimes! Sunday May 19th at 11 am that’s what’s happening.
The menu includes brunch panzanella with polenta and poached egg, braised wild boar with tomatoes canned from last summer, chilled grilled calamari, and cannoli for desert. If it's sunny we'll be on the patio! Call Tipo for reservations now, it's limited!
Call Tipo at (207) 358-7970 to come eat brunch and talk Sardinian history with Mario and I

Amelie Cartoux will be here to talk about and pour her fathers wines: Domaine Espiers in Gigondas
At Browne Trading on Thursday the 16th from 4-6pm
If you can’t make it to Maine Wild Wine Fest to meet Amelie and taste through her wines, don’t worry: she’s also doing a wine tasting at Browne Trading on Thursday from 4-6pm! These are some of the best Rhone wines I know of: ripe and sunny but also with tones of wild herbs and integrated structure.

I think the picture pretty much says it all….
