Wine and swine – so good together, they even rhyme! This week we welcomed the dynamic duo, Nick Macri of La Divisa Meats and Mitch Skwer of The Wine Merchant, into COOK for another edition of their wildly popular wine and swine dinner. Our guests were carried off to the southern Italian region that is home to Rome and bordered by the Tyrrhenian Sea – Lazio! Chef-turned-butcher Nick Macri highlighted cuisine traditional to the region while explaining the differences between Lazio and the rest of Italy. While “Meat Man Macri” was cooking up each course in front of our 16 guests, Mitch poured out and described the Lazio wine pairing he chose for each dish. Read on to see how the two came together and learn about the under-appreciated cuisine of the Lazio region!
