I checked the links and found no mention of what's on either the food or the wine menu for this event. Craig, I'm assuming you work for gcwines, so perhaps you know?

Paul and Tony at Topa are working on a menu as I type. I hope to have in up in a couple of days.

Sorry this has taken so long.

I think this event will be a fun tasting of the type of cuisine we do at topa and the variety of wines that come out of Argentina. We have several friends from our Spanish wine event returning to learn about Argentina's offerings.

It will be a special evening for sure, I can't wait!!

Thanks again to everyone who joined us for another great wine event at Topa! The evening flowed swimmingly and I had a great time, between cooking and plating the courses in the kitchen, and talking to all of our guests in the dining room about the food, the wines, and how they enjoyed the pairings.

The success of our two wine dinners, to date, give us encouragement to host more events like these. Our upcoming April event with Binny's of Schaumburg is already sold out!

Please email me tony@toparestaurant.com to join our mailing list to learn about more upcoming special events.

Cheers!!!
