Minneci’s wine patio party last week was a delicious occasion. With four different types of wine, the restaurant also served hors d’oeuvres such as Italian sausage meatballs, fried cheese risotto, and stuffed mushrooms in a white wine sauce. The rosé was simple, fruity, and light. While the white had a little too much of a punch for my taste, the two reds Minneci’s served were full of flavor.
