Australian Wine Dinner

Friday, May 14th, 7:30 p.m.

The charming wine shop in downtown Calabasas (23538 Calabasas Road), Bernard’s Wine Gallery, is serving a “Down Under Experience” 5-course dinner paired with wines on Friday night at their communal table in the back room.  Prawns on the barbie, bangers and mash, Australian lamb chops, steak pie, and Lamington (sponge cake dipped in chocolate and dusted with coconut) are on the menu along with a Verdelho, a few Shirazes, and a Muscata wine.  The price is $195.  Call 818-224-5662 for reservations.

If you can’t make this dinner, check the website for upcoming Connoisseurs of Wine dinners which happen monthly.  Wine tastings take place at the shop every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 4-8 p.m.
