JK will transport guests to Italy with tales of the vineyards his wines are from, and the connection to his family, while delectable dishes are paired with the vibrant wines of JK.14. Trevally Crudo with avocado and lime is enjoyed alongside the zesty Alice Verdeca, the tart notes of each beautifully complimentary, while Amano’s stand-out, whole roasted lamb shoulder finds its perfect pairing in two styles of classic Italian varietals: primitivo and malanotte.
To finish the evening on a high note, diners are invited to enjoy Acqua Di Cedro alongside a crisp, handmade cannolo filled with lime and ricotta. With four masterfully-crafted courses and six wines, this is one event you don’t want to miss, and with limited spaces up for grabs, we suggest securing your spot here today.
