Pike and Western Wine Shop hosts Lidia Bastianich 08.13.10
Lidia Bastianich Book Signing, Wine Tasting at Pike And Western Wine Shop Aug. 20
Free event with cookbook author, television personality, chef and restaurateur
SEATTLE—(August 13, 2010)—Pike and Western Wine Shop will expand its free Friday tasting on August 20, 4 to 6 p.m., to welcome best-selling cookbook author, award-winning television cooking show personality, chef and restaurateur Lidia Bastianich. Lidia will be signing copies of Lidia Cooks From The Heart of Italy while guests sip on complimentary tastes from Lidia’s own winery: Bastianich Vineyards. A limited number of cookbooks will be available for $35 and a selection of wines from Bastianich Vineyards will also be available for sale. The event is free to attend.
The book signing is in conjunction with Pike and Western’s weekly Friday tasting (usually held 3 to 6 p.m.). Wine shop owner Michael Teer will be pouring tastes from Lidia’s own award-winning winery: Bastianich Vineyards. Bastianich Vineyards, which Lidia opened with her son Joseph, is located in the Colli Orientali region of Friuli in Northwestern Italy, an area widely known for its wine production, terroir and grape varieties Tocai Friulano, Schiopettino, and Refosco. Pike and Western’s knowledgeable staff will guide guests through the unique and informal tasting.
Lidia’s latest cookbook, Lidia Cooks From The Heart of Italy, is a hardcover (Knopf 2009) cookbook profiling 175 regional recipes from 12 regions of Italy. The featured regions include many lesser known parts of Italy including Molise, Liguria, Umbria, Abruzzo, Calabria, Valle d’Aosta, Le Marche, Trentino Alto Adige, Basilicata, and Sardinia as well as the famed Lombardy and Emilia Romagna.
Lidia herself has garnered much acclaim for the past two decades for her best-selling Italian cookbooks, six restaurants, entertainment company Tavola Productions and various cooking shows, including the Emmy-nominated Lidia’s Italy series. She also founded a second winery, La Mozza, with Joseph Bastianich and Mario Batali. Other cookbooks include Lidia’s Family Table, Lidia’s Italian-American Kitchen, Lidia’s Italian Table and La Cucina di Lidia.
