Le Cirque Restaurant – WineChannelTV reviews Friuli’s Finest Wines

WineChannelTV attended the “Serata Friulana” dinner at Le Cirque restaurant in NYC for Vino2010 and captured the highlights on video for all 🙂

The dinner was hosted by the Chamber of Commerce of Udine (Friuli Venezia Giulia ) and the Italian Trade Commission-ICE.

The room was filled with Friuli winemakers pouring their finest. Le Cirque chefs were cooking away to compliment the wines a in a buffet-style manner. I had high hopes of the cuisine at Le Cirque, but unfortunately Le Cirque did not live up to them.

If anything I would head back for a glass of vino, their wine cellar was amazing!

The event was a wonderful display of Friuli, just another hidden region of Italy, that many people should take the time to learn about.

Watch WineChannelTV and JustJess speak with Wine Expert/Writer Michael Apstein and others to see their take on the event!

And I want to know, have you tried a wine from Friuli and how was the experience? Mine was memorable!

Cheers!
