Marchesi di Barolo at The Lambs Club

Please join event co-chair, Doug Hurley, the Events Committee and me as we host Anna and Valentina Abbona, the 5th and 6th generation owners of Marchesi di Barolo, for an unprecedented Piemonte wine event at the exclusive Lambs Club.

Weather permitting, we will begin the evening on the Private Terrace of The Lambs Club with Negroni-style cocktails made with the estate’s Chinato in lieu of Campari while we enjoy a selection of passed canapés. We will then sit for a multi-course feast paired with copious amounts of the legendary wines of the Marchesi di Barolo estate (see menu and wines in the right panels). Anna and Valentina Abbona will educate us about the wines throughout the course of this exceptional evening.

Marchesi di Barolo: Overlooking the Castle of the Marquis Falletti in Barolo, famously dubbed “The King of Wines, the Wine of Kings,” Marchesi di Barolo became the official wine of the Savoy court, serving King Carlo Alberto (1798–1859), King of Sardinia and signer of the Italian constitution that unified the Kingdom of Italy.

Today, the estate’s guiding principle is to produce high-quality wines while intertwining modernity and tradition from the heritage of the vineyards. Thanks to constant and careful maintenance, they retain five-centuries-old oak casks. Marchesi di Barolo has an extensive portfolio of wines and many single-vineyard wines, including their flagship Barolo Cannubi, known for its balance between structure and elegant tannins. Their traditions continue to delight and are in the extraordinary care of Anna, Valentina, and family.

The Lambs Club: We will be dining in the Stanford White Studio, the private dining room at The Lambs Club. This exclusive club was originally dedicated to Broadway and film actors and actresses, then known as “The Lambs.” The Studio honors Stanford White, who designed the building in 1905. The venue remains a chic oasis from the bustling nightlife of New York City in the heart of Times Square.

Our repast was specially created by Chef Jack Logue, who has worked alongside Daniel Boulud at his flagship restaurant as well as in the kitchens of Michelin-starred Betony and Clocktower.

The Society thanks Anna and Valentina Abbona for their generosity and splendid wines; event co-chair Doug Hurley, who brought this opportunity to our attention; The Lambs Club—particularly Kristy Koy, events coordinator; Chef Jack Logue (who curated our fabulous menu to complement the wines); and the entire team at The Lambs Club for their care and attention to detail to ensure this WFSNY event will be an unparalleled experience.

Seating is limited to 24 members and guests. Due to space limitations, we urge you to make your reservation right away online at www.wfsny.org or by contacting Rose at ro**@***ny.org or 908-719-0550.
