Sad news.
We ate at Bottega a few times over the years.
He was young…

Crazy that an allergic reaction was his end. I still remember selling his wines as a rep in the 2000s.

RIP.

Yeah, that’s horrible.

I wonder what triggered the allergic reaction?

Often in the reported media, things are simplified for understanding. Regardless, that is awful news.

RIP too young.
Loved his restaurant.

Reportedly, doctors and his family don’t currently know what triggered the severe allergic reaction.

Specific allergen still not known. He had some other conditions that probably contributed to the outcome after he had the reaction.
