In the first of this occasional series David ventures north to neighboring Red Hook to savor his favorite pizzas made by a favorite person, Nobile Attie of Lucoli. Attie's better known via his BrickOven.com through which he's fashioned for decades distinctive ovens for many famed chefs worldwide. That said, those of us in the mid-HV are privileged to have in our midst an artisan of this caliber. It's BYO at Lucoli, and for this David brought Steven Matthiason's Cabernet Sauvignon, Raffaella Bissoni's Sangiovese Riserva and, in recognition of his Abruzzo heritage, a few indigenous bottlings from Il Mostro.
