Boutari

Terlato Wines International Executive Chef Colin Crowley will be appearing tomorrow on WCIU, Chicago’s number-one independently owned television station.

Look for Colin on the morning show, 6-9 a.m., “You & Me This Morning.”

Chef Colin will be talking about Boutari wines and what makes them so food friendly.

And he’ll also be sharing some of the secrets of his kitchen at the famed Tangley Oaks Manor, where he cooks daily for the many renowned winemakers represented by the Terlato family (no easy task, considering how well the great winemakers of the world are accustomed to eating!).
