I went to the first few Midwest Culinary Institute wine dinners when they started last fall and loved them– I finally got the dates passed to me again. This is such a great opportunity: good prices, great food and wine from a local wine producer. Thanks to Michelle for passing me the info. I just emailed Carmen at Midwest Culinary and I should be getting these updates regularly. I highly encourage you to come (and no, they’re not paying me– I am unconnected to MCI except for a respect for what they do)!
The winemaker is Burnet Ridge, with Chip Emmerlich talking about his wines between courses (I always learn a lot from the wine discussion). The chef is the Summit Room’s chef, Matt Winterrowd– and the menu looks nice!
Time: 6:30 PM
Price: $70 per person, including gratuity, plus tax.
Make reservations via email Cparks002@cinci.rr.com or by calling her at 574-4789. Deadline for reservations is Sunday, September 14.

Maybe I just don’t see it, but what is the date for event?
Sorry Julie, it is in the title! Gosh I love my blond moments!
That was my blonde moment– I changed it after you commented!
You should go! I don’t have anyone to sit with if I go– I’d love to do dinner with you!
Let me check my calendar tomorrow and I will email you. The menu looks fabulous.
