Wine Dinner: Game and Bold Wines
WINE DINNER
Game & Boldly Flavored Wines
We kick off our 2010 dinner series with an exciting food/wine event featuring game and wines from the U.S., France, and Italy specially chosen to match the rich flavors of the foods. A perfect mid-winter feast - three courses, each with matching wine, followed by a light dessert. This should be an especially wonderful event held in the private room in Bistro 63 at the Monkey Bar in downtown Amherst. Reserve your places by phoning (549-0900) or emailing (steve@amherstwines.com). All reservations must be prepaid. Special discounts will apply to all wines served at the dinner if you’d like to purchase (but no need to). Hope to see you there.
