Join Angelina Mondavi with Special Guests on New Instagram Live in May for Expert Tips
Napa, CA, April 28, 2021– Making it easier to enjoy the fresh flavors of sushi right at home, Flat Top Hills invites consumers to learn from Angelina Mondavi along with special guests through Rolling In Style, a series on Instagram Live in May. Designed to demystify how to create sushi-inspired dishes in a home kitchen, the three-episode event brings Angelina Mondavi, consulting winemaker, together with guests from Lundberg Family Farms, Eiko’s Modern Japanese and Osprey Seafood to share tips and ideas.
“Sushi and wine can be a really beautiful pairing. The crisp acidity of a Sauvignon Blanc or citrusy richness of Chardonnay play off fresh fish, while the savory notes in a Cabernet Sauvignon complement deeper flavors like unagi,” said Angelina Mondavi, consulting winemaker for Flat Top Hills and member of the fourth generation of the C. Mondavi family. “But even for accomplished home cooks, making sushi can feel intimidating. That’s why we’ve gathered some experts and friends to share advice and techniques, and of course some favorite wines.”
Hosted by wine and culinary personality Oscar Peralta of @Beyond.The.Taste, special guests will join Angelina Mondavi to talk about ingredients, techniques and great pairings. Live on @FlatTopWines on Thursdays at 4:30 p.m. Pacific, the full series includes:

Kicking off on May 6, Brita Lundberg, member of the fourth generation of leadership at Lundberg Family Farms, will chat with Angelina about different varieties of rice and why sushi rice is key. She’ll also share some easy recipes and swap stories about growing up in the family business.
On May 13, Eiko’s Modern Japanese Proprietor Allison Hallum and Executive Chef Tateki Noma will showcase Poke, a beloved favorite at the restaurant, located in the First Street Napa district.

The series concludes on May 27 with Osprey Seafood Culinary Director Kelsey Coulson.
