Rhone Ranger and Café Boulud: Randall Grahm’s Californian Wine Dream
Known as the “Rhone Ranger” (love that!), Randall Grahm has long been famous for growing Rhone varietals in his vineyards in California before anyone thought that could be successful. With “Randall Grahm’s Californian Wine Dream dinner,” he will team with Café Boulud’s Executive Chef Rick Mace on Nov. 5 for a four-course meal pairing with the Bonny Doon wines. The meal will be at the new Café Boulud (301 Australian Ave., Palm Beach, 561/655-6060). Tickets are $85, excluding tax and gratuity.
III Forks Prime Steakhouse: 2012 Krupp M5 Cabernet Sauvignon
Attending the national release for a prestigious wine is a delightful occasion. That’s what you’ll find if you’re at the 2012 Krupp M5 Cabernet Sauvignon release at both South Florida locations of the III Forks Prime Steakhouse on Nov. 13. This wine sells for $165/bottle, and when you pair it with great food, it’s a bit of a dream meal. The four-course dinner has limited seating and costs $135 per person, excluding tax and gratuity. You’ll have a guest speaker from Napa Valley’s Krupp Winery, and other Krupp wines (2014 Black Bart’s Bride, 2009 Veraison, 2012 The Doctor) will be part of the meal, too. Reserve for either the Palm Beach Gardens restaurant (4645 PGA Blvd., 561/630-3660) or the Hallandale location (Village at Gulfstream Park, 501 Silks Run, 954/457-3920).
