Wine and dine

oenoIt’s my job to keep you updated about approaching wine dinners, and I take that job very seriously.

Two worth checking out are coming up over the next seven days.

The first is Saturday at Oeno Wine Bar, 330 N. Mead. The dinner is called Savor the Summer and will feature a five-course dinner, each course paired with a corresponding wine. (Pork scaloppine over fettucine is among the entrees on the menu.) The cost is $40 a person, and it starts at 7 p.m. Call 316-440-5000 for a reservation.

Then, on Aug. 31 (next Tuesday) Yia Yia’s is putting on a Spanish wine dinner that’s $65 a person and will feature five courses and five wines. It starts at 6:30 p.m. and will include dishes such as wood oven roasted quail. Call 316-634-1000 for reservations.

My work here is done.
