Mugsy's pop-up wine bar - Festa dell’Unità

Festa dell’Unità – Commie Pinkos welcome to drink reds and rosés @ Mugsy's pop-up wine bar at El Rio, Friday, September 7 (5:30-8:30) Mugsy is of course a lefty, committed to bringing delicious and affordable wines to the masses. We found a winning sparkling brut rosé from Italy – and are building a night around it to coincide with Festa dell’Unità an Italian Communist gathering held in different towns during the summer. Join us for Ca'Vittoria, a sparkling brut rosé worthy of Gramsci,* + rosé, and red wines galore, including Gratta Wines Cabernet from the Bayview and the ever-pleasing 2009 Le Clos du Caillou Côtes du Rhône. If you think Italians in America deserve better than Columbus Day, or it you’re just tired of the Tea Party, come cheer up on the patio of El Rio with pink and red wine. On Friday, September 7th, instead of Piadina the Italians (La Piada Randagia) will be serving a ragù (Bolognese sauce) over polenta with Parmesan - a traditional dish for Festa dell’Unità. (Hold the Bolognese for a veggie version.) Salute! And Nostrovia! Stay tuned at http://www.mugsywinebar.tumblr.com “I'm a pessimist because of intelligence, but an optimist because of will."
