Chris Petty has been an employee of Pulcinella Ristorante for five years, with extensive experience in both the front and the back of the house. In addition to working as a chef in the kitchen, Chris has managed the restaurant front and has participated in and led the serving staff in the extensive wine education studies and tastings required of all the serving staff. Recently, he has intensified his studies of Italian wine regions, and as a result is very conversant on the twenty Italian wine regions.  Each week at the restaurant he has been required to write 3 to 5 page papers on various assigned Italian wine subjects.  He has also hosted weekly wine tastings for the public, which are held every Friday afternoon at Pulcinella. 

Chris was also in charge of the wine list, which allowed him to work closely with wine representatives from various distributors in Colorado. He is continuing his studies of wine working towards taking the first level Sommelier's course and test held by the court of Master Sommelier in the next year. In addition to his extensive wine studies, Chris is currently studying Italian language courses with a tutor from Italy. Chris will be with Bacco Imports for many years to come and will continue to be an integral part of our team.
