Fine Wine & Kleiner Time
Two upcoming events promise to provide unique opportunities to sample some great wines and food -- but you've got to hurry to get tickets before they sell out.
On April 26 at the Crimson Lounge in the Hotel Sax, Chicago's Best Palate brings together some of the city's top sommeliers -- Scott Tyree, formerly of Tru; Chef Alain Njike of Park 52; Italian Village's Michael Taylor; and Lucas Henning of C-House -- who will tasting three mystery wines and attempt to determine the the region, varietal and year of each. You'll be able to play along, answering the same questions and possibly even besting the wine experts. It's hosted by The Local Tourist's Theresa Carter and the Windy City Wine Guy, Michael Bottagliero -- no slouch in the wine department himself. Tickets are just $30.
The Local Tourist teams up with Tweating Out for the Chef's Table dining series, which ventures to Via Ventuno on April 29. For just $25, you'll sample food and wine from the latest in restaurateur Jerry Kleiner's stable (it had been Room 21 before a full re-imagining), and enjoy some face time with Kleiner himself. Tickets for this one are likely to go fast, so register soon.
