The GOODS from Origo Club
Richmond, BC | The team at Origo Club will welcome Pino Posteraro, Chef/Owner of Vancouver’s Cioppino’s Mediterranean Grill & Enoteca for an exclusive Alba White Truffle Dinner showcasing the Italian delicacy at the Richmond dining destination on Sunday, December 15.
Beginning at 6 p.m., Posteraro and Origo Club Chef David Pan will trade talents as they each prepare three courses that feature the aromatic and revered trifola d’Alba Madonna (‘Truffle of the White Madonna’) as the centerpiece. Found mainly in northern Italy’s Piedmont region, the white truffles are highly prized and some of the most valuable on the market, especially as the 2019 crop is being recognized as one of the highest-quality harvests in memory.
Each course will be paired with an impressive selection of wines from Barolo’s famed G.D. Vajra estate, where Origo Club Managing Partner and wine connoisseur Woody Wu recently visited to taste through the portfolio of wines with the founding Vajra family to hand select them for this dinner.
