Erin, a warm welcome to you! It's a special pleasure to greet a person who bears the name of a pricey wine glass.
Okay, tomato pie: I'm a pretty serious student of all things Italian, but this is ringing only a distant bell with me, associated specifically with Italian-American eateries in upstate New York. Like a pizza but made in a big pan with fresh cooked tomatoes?
I don't recall ever seeing this in Louisville - or, for that matter, in Italy. But I'd start by asking the good folks at Melillo's if they've ever heard of it, and if so, whether they could whomp one up; there is no place better in Louisville for Italian-American cookery in the style of New York and NJ.
