Post #1 - October 14th, 2009, 6:40 pmHas anyone heard any details about the wine tasting and dinner at Taxim on Monday?
I heard they are hosting a famous Greek wine maker.....is there such a thing?
What about the menu? Do you think it will be worth a try? I am not familiar
with greek wines and therefore, not sure what to expect.

Post #3 - October 14th, 2009, 6:50 pmThe man is named George Skouras and he's a very well-respected Greek winemaker (a legend of sorts, from what I hear). He'll be at this event at Avli in Winnetka the night before.

Post #5 - October 20th, 2009, 9:36 amWent to the dinner/wine pairing at Taxim last night
It was probably one of the best meals I have ever had in my life.
The food outdid the wine- which is how it should be.
My favorite was the seafood trio, the roe, and cabbage salad.
The main entree-the goat with quince was fantastic, but I think I was
too full at that point to really appreciate.
