Allora Sacramento

"This month, she launched a wine list celebrating women winemakers, such as Elisa Semino of La Colombera in Piedmont, Italy, and Michael Havill of Bella Grace Vineyards in Amador County. Some of the wines on the list are unusual for Sacramento restaurants, but neither Allora nor Mandalou have ever stuck to the standards." https://www.comstocksmag.com//women-leadership-elizabeth-r

March is here! In honor of #nationalwomensmonth our theme is WOMEN IN WINE FOR CHANGE. We are honored to be partnered with Saint John's Program for Real Change again, to have the opportunity to give back to our community and to drive awareness to this very special organization. In an effort to fundraise for this local program and to showcase women’s talents, we have adapted Allora’s wine list to highlight women owned wineries and female winemakers. These wines will be highl...ighted on our menu and $2 from every sale (bottles and glasses) will go directly to Saint John’s Program for Real Change. In addition to our fundraiser in house, our March Wine Club will also showcase women owned wineries and female winemakers. There are countless talented women making profound wines in Italy, and we look forward to sharing them with you this month! To learn more about our Wine Club please visit allorasacramento.com/wine-club. If you aren’t a wine drinker, yet are compelled to help the program (as COVID-19 has severely affected their fundraising this past year), we have included a donation link on our website (and at the end of this post) for you to donate directly and to learn more about why we feel so passionate about this program. We are immensely grateful to be in a position to support and to bring awareness to this program and to the many talented Women in Wine. https://www.grouprev.com/saintjohnsprogramfundraise-allora

On the fall menu, CICCIOLI! Ciccioli are the Italian version of Rillettes. Rillettes are a preparation of meat, similar to pâté. Learn a little more about the preparation of this seasonal Allora favorite below Duck Confit - In this particular dish, the duck is dry-brined with star anise, juniper and brown sugar before being slowly braised in duck fat. When the duck is tender enough, it is shredded and then cooled with enough of the fat to form a paste, then re-emulsified ...with extra virgin olive oil, shallots, fresh thyme, tarragon, parsley & chives. Duck confit is quite popular in Emilia Romagna, Modena, Bologna and Emilia Reggio. Wild Mushroom Salad Oyster, chanterelle and lobster mushrooms, sautéed in white wine, shallots, fresh thyme, tarragon, parsley & chives. Finished with sherry vinegar, extra virgin olive oil & fresh mustard greens. Served with grilled bread and a perfectly poached duck egg.
