¡Salud! in Wrigleyville

If you missed Valentine's Day, fear not. On February 20, D.O.C Wine Bar (2602 N. Clark) is featuring a night of Spanish wines from the Rioja region (courtesy of Juan Muga of Bodegas Muga Winery)with a four-course food pairing. A highlight of the evening is Wagyu flank steak, Iberico ham and manchego croquette, and romesco matched with a red blend, Selección Especial. The dinner concludes with a sampling of Muga's Prado Enea, a red grape blend aged for a minimum total of 84 months, paired with lamb ravioli and rosemary jus.

Reservations can be made at 773-883-5101.
