Italian winemaker Giorgio Rivetti of La Spinetta wineries will be in Providence for a dinner at Bacaro, 262 South Water St., Providence, on Monday, Jan. 25 at 6:30 p.m.

Rivetti is one of Piedmont's innovative producers of Barbaresco, Barbera, and Barolo. Said Robert Parker Jr. "One of Italy's most fashionable winemakers/proprietors, Giorgio Rivetti displays a masterful touch whether he is making Barbera, Moscato d'Asti, or his proprietary red wine Pin."

Bacaro owners, chef Brian Kingsford and Jennifer Matta, will pair the food with the wines. The cost is $110 which includes tax and gratuity. Call (401) 751-3700 ext. 6 to reserve.

In Wednesday's Lifebeat Food and online, there's a story about Greek Yogurts. But it's missing a good one according to a colleague and yogurt aficionado. It's from New England's own favorite coop Cabot Creamery. She finds it at all Shaw's grocery stores and she reports it is only sold in the large, value size containers (which we love).

Here are some details about Cabot's Greek Yogurt:
Contains all natural ingredients
Contains live active cultures
Concentrated nutrients include high levels of calcium, protein, vitamins B6 and B12, and magnesium
Available in flavors of Vanilla Bean, Peach, Strawberry, Honey, Blueberry Pomegranate, and Raspberry Chocolate.
