MadreTerra Wine Dinner

Wine Tatsing and Dinner with Podere 29 Wnery

Don't miss MadreTerra wine dinner at LA Puglia on October 7th, featuring the exceptional wines of Podere 29. We are honored to have Giuseppe Marrano, the owner of Podere 29, join us for this special event. 

Founded in 2005, Podere 29 spans 20 hectares, with 17 dedicated to vineyards. Nestled in the northern part of Puglia, close to the Gulf of Manfredonia, the winery benefits from its proximity to the sea. Podere 29 is deeply committed to organic farming and uniquely chooses not to irrigate its vineyards. This results in lower yields but significantly enhances the quality and organoleptic characteristics of their wines. The winery produces approximately 130,000 bottles annually, focusing primarily on red wines such as Nero di Troia, Primitivo, Malvasia Nera, and Susumaniello. The mineral-rich soils, influenced by the nearby sea, impart a distinct minerality and salinity to all their wines. Join us for an evening of exquisite wines and culinary delights, and experience the unique flavors of Puglia with us.

Her accomplishments are many, including her appearance on Season One of X Factor as one of the 'Over 30's' finalists, where she wowed judges with her interpretation of Stop Crying Your Heart Out by Oasis. LA Reid, Simon, Nicole and Paula raved that she is one of the best singers they have ever encountered. She has performed in over 25 countries, with some of the biggest names in the world of Gospel and R&B music such as the late Rev. James Cleveland, Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Tramaine Hawkins and Shirley Ceasar. She has worked with Bobby Womack, Cherrelle, Miki Howard and the Gap Band. On a broader scale she has sung for Rod Stewart and performed at recent galas honoring individuals such as Kenneth 'Babyface' Edmonds, Angela Bassett, Stephanie Mills and Chaka Kahn. Film scores and TV tracks have also been part of Elaine's story, including voice-overs for Disney Studios and a collaboration duet with the late Ollie Woodson of The Temptations.
