Winemaker coming to town

By Amity Thomas

The Grape hosts a special Winemaker’s Come-As-You-Are Wine Dinner on Thursday, Aug. 1 featuring extraordinary wines selected from Burt Street Cellars. Chef Brian C. Luscher will feature an intimate three-course paired dinner to complement hand-selected wines, and special guest host is Burt Street Cellars winemaker Timothy Skok.

The Grape’s monthly wine dinner provides a fun, casual setting that allows the guests to “come-as-they-are” and dine at their own pace, allowing for a more festive one-on-one format with the wine experts. Themes include a wine expert/host for the evening who speaks to each individual table about the wines selected.

Reservations are recommended for this event and available from 5:30-9 p.m. Cost is $75 per person exclusive of tax, gratuity and other beverages. Located at 2808 Greenville Avenue, The Grape is open for dinner seven nights a week at 5:30 p.m. For reservations call 214-828-1981 or visit thegraperestaurant.com. Complimentary valet parking always provided.
