Varanese Restaurant, located at 2106 Frankfort Avenue, will host the Stonestreet Single Vineyard Wine Dinner on Tuesday, December 9 with a reception at 6:30pm and dinner at 7:00pm. The evening will feature guest speaker Jeff Bishop of Stonestreet Winery and a six-course dinner paired with wines from the northern California winery all made from grapes grown at elevations from 400 - 2,400 feet.
