Wine Spectator Award 2010! | “Celebrating 40 Years of Excellence”
http://www.casadante.com/ See us on FACEBOOK
Dear Friends:
Supper clubs were prevalent in the 30's & 40's. A fine meal, entertainment ( usually a floor show as in the Copa or Latin Quarter in NYC ) and elegant atmosphere. We can't bring that era back. It's only in the movies and memories . But we do a modern version at Casa Dante. This weekend we have some fine entertainment. If you would like to experience a bit of yesterday ( with a today menu) try us! Great award winning food & wine; warm ambiance & cool Friday night Jazz or Saturday night Standards & Ballads..come see us! Not many places do this anymore, and we think our weekend combinations are wonderful!
Thanks for reading and see you at Casa Dante

In our efforts both to provide healthy alternatives in Italian cooking to our restaurant, and to impart knowledge on this subject, we present these suggestions and recipes. We at Casa Dante are constantly reviewing our menu selections to provide reasonable alternatives to old family recipes. While in the past we never wavered on these tried and true formulas, we have of late started a process wherein your favorite dishes can still be enjoyed without the guilt or consequences.
If you have a recipe you'd like to share, send along to us at info@casadante.com. We will review and post and let us know if your name can be used fore credit. Thanks!
Did you know!...
A raisin dropped into a glass of champagne will repeatedly bounce up and down between the top and the bottom of the glass.
As late as the mid-17th century, the French wine makers did not use corks. Instead, they used oil-soaked rags stuffed into the necks of bottles.
The corkscrew was invented in 1860.
The longest recorded champagne cork flight was 177 feet and 9 inches, four feet from level ground at Woodbury Vineyards in New York State.
In the 1800's, rum was considered excellent for cleaning hair and keeping it healthy. Brandy was believed to strengthen hair roots.
The purpose of the indentation at the bottom of a wine bottle is to strengthen the structure of the bottle.
In the U.S., a barrel of beer contains 31 gallons, which is equivalent to about 330 twelve-ounce bottles or cans.
Bubbles in Champagne Bubwere seen by early wine makers as a highly undesirable defect to be prevented.
Liquor stores in the US are called "package stores" and sell "package goods" because of laws requiring that alcohol containers be concealed in public by being placed in paper bags or "packages."
Methyphobia is fear of alcohol.
