In an effort to connect with our loved ones during a period when perhaps connection is needed most, food and wine can help transport virtual moments into everlasting memories. So this week on #YVatHome, Vintage Conservatory presents Classic Italian Night, a 3-course Italian inspired meal and pairing even the self-taught chefs can tackle! When thinking of wines to pair with dishes, one of the age-old rules to follow is "what grows together, goes together".
