Varanese Restaurant opened at 2106 Frankfort Avenue in August 2007, and since its opening has hosted numerous special dinners each month to give guests unique experiences and the opportunity to try a variety of cocktails and dishes that include locally-grown ingredients. Next month, Varanese will host its 100th wine dinner with the “BOS Wine Dinner” on Tuesday, July 12, with a reception at 6:30pm and dinner at 7:00pm. The special guest for the evening will be David Bos, Founder and Vineyard Manager of BOS Wines, who will be on hand to answer questions about the wines being served and their special attributes. Each of the six courses will be paired with a wine from the Napa Valley winery that has been passionate about biodynamic/ organic farming practices from its beginning ten years ago. The cost of the dinner is $75 per person, plus tax and gratuity. Reservations are required and can be made by calling (502) 899-9904 or emailing letsdine@varanese.com.
