Valentine's Wine Zoom to Support Magic Box Productions

VALENTINE’S WINE ZOOM
February 11, 2021, 7-8pm

Warm up with us on a cold February night for a fireside chat on the current state of the restaurant and wine world as well as what Magic Box has been up to in the recent months. Restauranteur Frank Botta will chat about his years in the wine and restaurant business, his thoughts on the current and future state of affairs and will discuss (and taste) a few exciting wines with us. 

We are offering different levels of support:

Cabernet Level: $50 includes small-batch Harbor Sweets chocolates, 2 Magic Box wine charms and Zoom invite.

Beaujolais Nouveau Level: $25 invitation to the Zoom call.

Zoom link will be sent in advance of the event as a part of your registration receipt and will include a list of wine suggestions from Frank Botta so that the Cabernet and Beaujolais Nouveau levels may purchase wines in advance of the event to enjoy at home.

Frank Botta

Frank Botta is an accomplished restauranteur and general manager who has 28+ years in the industry.  

Originally from Massachusetts, Frank moved to New York to pursue a study of the fine arts.  However, his love of the food scene, its culture and energy propelled him to make New York City his permanent home.  He started his career at Convivio, specializing in fine dining and Italian wines where he learnt from one of the best sommeliers in the industry, Levi Dalton.  He continued his career as the General Manager of well-known establishments such as Osteria Morini (Chef Michael White) and the Grand Central Oyster Bar.  

Frank credits his knowledge and education of wines to Levi’s Saturday afternoon classes at Convivio, where he learnt to appreciate different spirits and wines from multiple regions.  However, he firmly believes that ‘everyone can be their own connoisseur’.  Hence, his aim is to share his love of fine wines with everyone while encouraging confidence in appreciating one’s own palate.
