Dan Scordato, owner of Vivace’s, has been in the restaurant business since the 1970’s, first with his family and now sole owner of his renown restaurant.  With so many savory dishes on the menu, we asked Dan to choose a couple of his signature dishes and a wine or two to pair. 

His first choice is the signature Seafood Soup for two, a tasty, mouthwatering stew of scallops, rock shrimp and salmon based in a red pepper-tomato broth (see our Recipe Book section at www.wineinquirer.com/category/recipes  for his recipe.)  Dan suggests that you pair this dish with the 2006 W Dreams Jermann Chardonnay.

The second dish is a hearty Osso Buco, veal shank simmered in a red wine sauce over risotto.  For this dish, Dan suggests the Gaja Ca’Marcanda Promis, 2006.
