Pasta Making at Rossoblu

Handmade Pasta Class and Dinner for 4

This Experience Includes:

Learn how Pasta Master 'Sfoglino' Francesco Allegro makes Rossoblu's famous handmade pasta with a demonstration and Q&A class
Four-course dinner with paired wines
Winspire booking & concierge service

In the wheat fields of Canosa di Puglia, Italy, Francesco Allegro's grandfather would harvest seeds to take home, grind, toast, then form into a toasted wheat troccoli. Today, Allegro makes that same troccoli, tossed with a fragrant combination of breadcrumbs, garlic, olive oil, and parsley, at Rossoblu. From a young age, he worked in the restaurant industry, but after high school, he pursued his two favorite things: music and pasta. On the side, Allegro taught Italian language classes, and in 2017, Chef Steve Samson was one of his students. Impressed by Allegro's profound pasta skills, Samson recruited him to become the head sfoglino at his Bolognese-inspired restaurant, Rossoblu. Allegro now resides in L.A., where he hand-makes pasta for Rossoblu's restaurant and market.

Pasta Making Class and Luncheon for 4

Experience a pasta making demonstration and Q&A class with Pasta Master Sfoglino Francesco Allegro then enjoy a four-course dinner with paired wines.

Rossoblu is the multiyear recipient of the Michelin Guide's Bib Gourmand, the Los Angeles Times Annual 101 Best Restaurants and for 5 years straight was listed on Eater LA's 38 Essential Restaurant list since opening in 2017. It's been a critical darling since the late revered food critic Jonathan Gold listed it as a top ten Los Angeles restaurant after only being open one year. At its soul, Rossoblu tells the story of the two places Chef Steve Samson calls home: Los Angeles and Bologna, Italy. The menu features authentic handmade pasta, market fresh produce and expertly cooked meats from a wood fired grill. Served in a stylish space with vaulted ceilings and a spacious outdoor garden, the cuisine is matched by genuine hospitality. Rossoblu is a true owner-operator restaurant with Chef Steve's wife Dina Samson helming marketing and finance, while Michael Tower is the Director of Operations.

This Experience Includes:

12 bottles of French white wine shipped to your home
Descriptive notes for each wine
Video presentation and sommelier guided tasting
Winspire booking & concierge service

Enjoy a unique selection of boutique French white wines of labels and vintages difficult to find outside of France. The collection, coming from smaller winemakers, are made up of 12 bottles representing the four best white wine regions of France with labels from Chablis, Burgundy, Loire and Alsace.

Chablis Denis Race 2020

The Domaine di Denis Race is located in the heart of Chablis, in the northern part of Burgundy, one of the most representative French wine-growing areas. This is classic Chablis at its best - 4th generation winemaker the Race family use virtually no oak creating a lean, linear, focused wine. The wine has a beautiful, deep straw yellow with a fresh and mineral nose. The fruity notes are elegant, reminiscent of white pulp fruits such as apple and peach.

Domaine Franck Millet Sancerre 2021

Founded in 1980 by Alain Cailbourdin, the domaine is now managed by his son Loïc who cultivates and vinifies the 20 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc located in Pouilly Fumé. Two years ago a new and more modern cellar was built, which allows the wine to be transferred only by gravity, without using a pump, creating less risk of oxidation and therefore less use of sulfites. The wine has a light straw yellow color with elegant greenish reflections, clear and bright. The nose reveals citrus notes, particularly the characteristic ones of grapefruit and passion fruit.

Marc Tempé Saint-Hyppolite Granite 2019

Marc and Anne Marie are both children of winemakers, growing up in the middle of vineyards, and since childhood have both learned to love the world of wine. The wine has a brilliant straw yellow color that is embellished with golden reflections. The olfactory range is delicate but broad with notes of pulpu white fruit, citrus peel, dried flowers, and particular notes of flint that are typical of this grape variety. On the palate, there is a tingling fresh acidity and an explosion of citrus and spice. The sip is lively and intense, moving divinely between fruity and mineral notes.

Marchand-Tawse Burgundy Chardonnay 2019

The history of the Marchand-Tawse winery is linked to that of Pascal Marchand, a wine producer now well known among wine enthusiasts across the world. Sensuously rich on the nose with toasty nut aromas, this Old World Burgundian Chardonnay is full-bodied and vibrant with ripe apple, lemon curd, toasty almond and hazelnut flavors finishing on a lingering tropical fruit note with great acidity for food.
