Sotto’s Italian Wine Tasting Series…

Have you noticed how Italy has conquered the wine lists of LA?  They’re everywhere.  And with so many varietals, ordering a bottle of Italian wine can be a head-scratcher unless you’re an expert.  Now’s your chance to become one.  Sotto restaurant is hosting a series of “intimate wine tastings” from the regions of Southern Italy on the second Wednesday of each month.  The series kicks off on Wednesday August 14th at 6:30 with an exploration of the Basilicata region.  Cost is $40 and if you stay for dinner and order one of the wines tasted, they’ll give you 50% off the bottle.  Make a reservation by calling (310) 277-0210.  Read more here.

Sotto’s Pizza And Cocktail Special…

Arguably, Sotto makes one of the best pizzas in town.  Their hand-built Neapolitan wood-burning oven turns out a chewy, slightly charred pie that explodes with flavor.  Equally adept are they at their mixology.  Now you have an opportunity to sample both. Tuesday to Friday from 5:30pm to 7:30pm, you can get their summer special Sosta Napoletana: one of their highly-lauded signature pizzas and a cocktail for $19.  Bar only.  Sotto is at 9575 W. Pico Blvd. in Los Angeles.  Read more here: sottorestaurant.com.
