Fabio Viviani Wines are now in the Bluegrass!

There’s a wonderful sense of jubilation that bubbles up inside you when you watch someone who is passionate about life and their profession.  This is how I’ve always felt about Fabio Viviani, a chef I’ve admired since my husband and I first caught his appearances in his online show “Chow Ciao” and his appearance on Bravo TV’s Top Chef.   Thanks to this amazing Italian culinary wizard, my hubby learned to make the best meatballs and pasta we’ve ever had!  You can definitely say, we’re definitely a bit smitten with Chef Fabio and continue to follow his career.

When I first learned that Fabio Viviani had a wine collection available, I was excited to try it and thanks to my awesome hubby, a case full arrived at our home Christmas day.  We’ve had to continue ordering online (not that I mind getting a case at a time,) but it does take a little planning in advance if we want more to serve at a party or impromptu gathering.  Which is why I’m over-the-moon to find out and to share that Fabio Viviani Wines are finally available in Kentucky at the Whole Foods store in Louisville and Lexington!

Awesome #Christmas gift from hubby! #HesAKeeper Case of @fvwines ! #DrinkWithFabio #wine #happyholidays

Fabio’s four wine varietals include the Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Signature Red Blend (my favorite!) and the Signature White Blend. The diverse flavor profiles of the four bottles can satisfy a wide range of palates whether it’s for an tailgating party for the upcoming football season or a friendly gathering and is sold for an affordable price of $14.99/bottle.

We love pairing Fabio’s wines with all our favorite Italian dishes or just enjoying steaks, fish or any style meal.  I’m looking forward to sipping a glass while watching the fall sunsets and enjoying a bonfire or two, as well.

Suggested Dish Pairings for Fabio Viviani Wines

Now that we have both Fabio Viviani recipes and wines in our home, I hope our next step will be to see Chef Fabio in person someday at one of his many fabulous restaurants or when he’s on tour with a food show.  Definitely what our culinary dreams are made of!
