BODEGAS LAN WINE DINNER
Thursday, October 6
Our first wine dinner of the season!

Join us for our first wine dinner of the season! The evening begins at 6 p.m. and includes five delicious courses paired with the wines of Bodegas Lan, along with a very special flamenco show.

The menu starts with Sopa de Maiz, a corn soup with tomato and dried poblano peppers, paired with Santiago Ruiz Albarino. This is followed by Pato Riojana, a grilled Maple Leaf Farms duck breast with a potato fritter, filled with Manchego cheese and a red-wine turmeric sauce, paired with Lan Crianza. Next comes the Caldereta Mixta, a mussel, clam, and smoked pork belly caldereta with tomato-saffrom sauce with Lan Reserva, and Cordero Braseado - braised lamb with vegetable lentil ragout. For dessert, an infusion three-milk cake with Marcona almonds. This special dining experience costs $80 (prepaid, tax and gratuity not included). Call us at 708-547-7177 to reserve your spot!
