Lidia Presents: Philharmonic Taste—An Austrian Tasting for Ears & Palate

Lauded Chelsea restaurant Del Posto hosts a cerebral soiree fusing oral and aural pleasures: fine wine, artful food and classical music—part of a new events and classes series. Esteemed chef Lidia Bastianich and a first violin player of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, Andreas Grossbauer, will host a seven-course menu with Austrian vino and a string quartet performing complementary pieces—for instance, plum-jam-stuffed gnocchi with toasted bread crumbs and cinnamon paired with Schloss Gobelsburg Riesling Tradition 2010 and accompanied by Franz Schubert’s Quartettsatz in C minor.
