Portofino

Tonight we had a Sommelier Guild of Atlanta wine tasting. Since I am the vice-president in training for president of the Guild, this was my first foray into setting up a tasting. We had had previous tastings at Portofino, which is an Italian restaurant in Buckhead, and that was the restaurant that I tried for my first tasting. It was awesome! For anyone who lives in Atlanta who hasn't eaten there, you are missing out on a great experience. Here is the menu and the wines we drank.
