EAT THIS
Tonight, Italian restaurant I Ricchi is taking it down a notch and bringing a more casual event to the outside patio—a wine tasting and wild boar festival. According to owner and chef Christianne Ricchi, wild boar festivals are common in southern Italy at this time of year, so she’s seeking to recreate some of the Tuscan atmosphere in the District. All of the wines will be from Umbria, a district that borders Tuscany. As for the wild boar? She didn’t hunt it down herself (it’s domestically raised in Texas), but don’t let that deter you. The festival goes from 5:30 to 7 p.m., and tickets are available here at $39.50 a person. I Ricchi, 1220 19th St. NW, (202) 835-0459. iricchidc.com. (Julia Tanaka)
