Cameron Art MuseumItalia in Three Acts — Summer Wine Dinner Series Act III
The final installment of a three-act summer wine dinner centers on Marchesi Antinori and a bottle that reshaped Italian wine history. The Antinori family has made wine in Tuscany since 1385, and in 1971 they released Tignanello, a pioneering blend of Sangiovese with Cabernet that was aged in French oak and offered without the customary appellation. That bold release helped coin the term Super Tuscan. The menu unfolds across five courses, beginning with a light opener and building to a dry-aged steak served alongside Tignanello. A chocolate course closes the evening, with an optional Brunello available for those who want a lingering finish. The experience includes a single pour of Tignanello within the five-course format. The price is $215 per seat.

From early house jams on Penelope Road and viral attic clips to a Warner Records deal, the band’s rise includes a self-titled 2024 EP and sold-out shows both headlining and sharing stages with Goose and Lake Street Dive. The Diamond Street Sessions, recorded at Diamond Street Studios with David Ryan Harris, introduced warm, groove-forward cuts like “Out Tonight” and “Flowers (Carry Me Home),” while the 2025 EP Chance Encounter leans into candid lyrics and full-band punch. They closed 2025 with three sold-out hometown performances and a Grammy.com Grammy Reimagined feature for their version of the Eagles’ “Lyin’ Eyes.” This North American headline run continues that momentum with tight musicianship, heartfelt songwriting, and the communal spark that shaped their journey from house jams to major stages.
