For his first tasting at Sotto Sopra, Michael wants to take you on a tour of Italy through their wines from Tuscany, Piedmont, Friuli-Venezia Giulia as well as a selection from Southern Italy.

About Michael Mohammadi


Michael Mohammadi has a passion for cooking and once dreamed to graduate from culinary school. He keeps recipes simple and tries to highlight the flavors of the main ingredient. He loves the challenge of pairing the right wine with any dish.

His culinary influences are vast, ranging from German, to Persian (his heritage) to traditional American or Mediterranean. Michael would define his cooking style as “simple with a twist” and almost always make a dish with a wine pairing or experience in mind.
