Sacramento’s most-award winning restaurant has partnered with the Antinori Winery in Florence, Italy for its first Wine Dinner of 2012 on Friday, January 27 at 7 p.m.

Founded more than 600 years ago in 1385, the Antinori domain stretches from the legendary vineyards of Tuscany and Umbria to the foothills of California’s Napa Valley.  One of Italy’s largest and most distinguished wine companies, the Antinori family contributes its success to “a combination of long traditions, a love of authenticity and a dynamic, innovative spirit.”

The event will feature a delicious seven-course menu, specially created by Executive Chef Deneb Williams, and expertly paired with Antinori wines by The Firehouse sommelier staff.

This exclusive Wine Dinner is $145 per person and seating is limited.  Only eight seats remain.  Reservations and guarantee are required.  Guests must contact General Manager and Sommelier Mario Ortiz or Assistant Wine Buyer and Certified Sommelier Paul Marsh at 916.442.4772 to secure their attendance.

As a Thank You to our loyal patrons and a special Welcome to our new guests, The Firehouse and Ten22 restaurants are offering a special promotion!

Dine at one of the Harvego Family Restaurants for lunch during  January and February and we’ll treat you to FREE valet service!  Offer is good Monday – Friday during lunch hours only, 11:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. at The Firehouse and 11:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. at Ten22.

For most, the New Year represents a new beginning, the chance to make a fresh start.  With this in mind, we sat down with members of The Firehouse and Ten22 teams to discuss their New Year’s resolutions for 2012.  Here’s what they had to say…

“I never make New Year’s resolutions…I just don’t see the point in waiting till the start of another year.  If you need or want to improve something, why not to do it today?” – Lisa, Special Events Sales Coordinator for The Firehouse

“Like most Americans, my New Year’s resolution is always the same – exercise more, lose weight and get in shape.  Sadly, I have yet to make good on this goal.  I did, however, add a second resolution to my list this year – to spend more quality time with family and friends without feeling like everything has to be planned or scheduled ahead of time.” – Ashley, marketing assistant for Ten22

“I decided that I was going to start running in 2012, and so far I’ve made good on that resolution!” – Geena, hostess at The Firehouse

“I had two this year.  The first was to stop biting my fingernails, which I’ve made good on thus far, and the second was to talk to my family more.” – Serene, bartender at Ten22

“I don’t believe in New Year’s resolutions.  I’m perfect as is!” – Michael, Facilities Manager for The Firehouse and Ten22

Here’s to a happy, healthy and delicious 2012!

“I was proposed to on Christmas!” – Antonette, hostess at Ten22

“Definitely the one I just got this week…my wife bought us a Tempur-Pedic bed!  It’s amazing, especially coming from a bed that was too small.  My feet used to hang over the footboard.” – Tim, special event lead at The Firehouse

“My mother got me engraved towels for my bathroom.  I’m a bit narcissistic, so they totally fit me!  She bought me like 10 – I’m a single guy – but I still don’t let people use them.” – Daniel, busser at Ten22

“Wow, I would have to say my Cher doll. She was really special to me!” – Jesse, hostess at The Firehouse

“Anything that shows the person giving the gift knows who I am.  A good girlfriend of mine made me a Build-a-Bear two years back.  It was dressed all in San Francisco Giants gear!” – Serene, bartender at Ten22

“My parents surprised me a few years ago by picking my sister up from Oklahoma.  Seeing her was the best gift I’ve ever received.” – Isaac, banquet server at The Firehouse
