SO SUPER EXCITED. YOU KNOW, IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US TO FEATURE AS MANY FAMILY OWNED, KIND OF LOCALLY OWNED WINERIES FOR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. BUT YEAH, LAVINIA IS GREAT. VERY TRADITIONALLY KIND OF ITALIAN DRIVEN. OR THEME. SO ITALIAN SETTLED, IMMIGRANT OWNED WINERY. THEY’VE BEEN FARMING SINCE, I THINK THE 1960S FOR GRAPES. YEAH. WHERE THE GRAPES COME FROM. ARE THEY LOCALLY, LOCALLY SOURCED? YES. SO EVERYTHING IS COMING FROM PASO. IT’S ALL STATE GROWN FOR THESE GUYS TOO, WHICH IS GREAT. SO THEY’RE HANDLING EVERYTHING FROM THE FARMING TO THE PICKING OF THE GRAPES, THE WINE MAKING PROCESS. BUT JUST REALLY BEAUTIFUL WINES. AND AGAIN, THEY DO A LOT OF ITALIAN VARIETALS.

SO YEAH, YOU CAN GET NEW YORK STRIP STEAK IN ANY RESTAURANT COAST TO COAST. BUT WE REALLY WANTED TO LEAN INTO THE ITALIAN THEME FOR THIS DINNER. SO WE’RE ACTUALLY FEATURING A PIEDMONTESE HERITAGE BREED CATTLE FOR THIS. WOW. AND IT’S SUPER INTERESTING. YOU KNOW, PEOPLE DON’T REALLY UNDERSTAND THAT THERE’S SO MANY DIFFERENT INTRICACIES WITH ALL THESE DIFFERENT BREEDS OF CATTLE AND DIFFERENT THINGS YOU CAN DO. AND THIS IS DONE IN A VERY TRADITIONAL STYLE WHERE IT’S GRASS FED AND GRASS FINISHED. OKAY, SO THE CATTLE IS NEVER INTRODUCED A GRAIN. IT’S LOWER IN SATURATED FAT PROTEIN. SAY THAT AGAIN. YEAH, EXACTLY. IT’S A BUZZWORD RIGHT. EVERYBODY TALKS ABOUT PROTEIN THESE DAYS. BUT THE FLAVOR OF THE BEEF IS OUTSTANDING. IT’S AT A DEEP, RICH FLAVOR. AND IT DOESN’T COME FROM OVERPROCESSING, WHICH IS GREAT. RIGHT. AND TALK TO ME MORE ABOUT THE HARD ROCK HOTEL AND CASINO. I MEAN, YOU GUYS ARE LOCATED IN WHEATLAND. YEAH, LOCAL.
