Alright, let’s talk about them Carrabba’s wine dinners, you know, the fancy ones they got going on. I heard folks jabbering about it, so I figured I’d lay it all out for ya, plain and simple, like how we talk back home.
First off, what the heck is a wine dinner anyway? Well, it ain’t just about guzzling down wine, ya hear? It’s like a fancy supper where they give you a different wine with each plate of food. Like, if you get chicken, they give you one kind of wine, and if you get steak, they give ya another. Makes sense, right? Even with that sweet stuff at the end, the dessert, they give you a special wine for it. Sounds kinda fun, if you ask me.
Now, about them dates. That’s what you really wanna know, ain’t it? Folks been saying they got these dinners all through the year. I heard some whispers about March, May, June, and August. But don’t go holdin’ me to it, okay? Dates change like the weather, ya know. The best thing to do is to go straight to the horse’s mouth, as they say. Go check out their website, */winedinner, or give ‘em a call. That way, you get the real scoop, not just some old lady’s ramblings.
From what I gathered, some of these dinners already happened. Like, back in March, they had somethin’ they called “spring pairings”, not once, but twice! Them city folks sure do like their fancy words. Then in May, they had this “Director’s Cut Wine Dinner”. Sounded real highfalutin to me. And June? They was talking about California wines. Said it was like a “journey through vibrant California wine country”. Sounds like a long drive just to drink some wine, if you ask me, but hey, to each their own. And in August, they had this “Summer Uncorked” thing.
What you can expect at these dinners
- Lots of wine, that’s for sure. Different kinds for different foods.
- Fancy food, not just your regular meat and potatoes. We’re talking Italian, I reckon.
- A set price. You pay one price and you get the whole shebang. I heard it’s around $60 or $75, depending on when you go.
- A set time. They mostly start around 6:30 in the evening. That gives folks time to get there after work, I guess.
Now, I ain’t been to one of these myself. Too busy tendin’ to my garden and chickens, ya know. But from what I hear, it’s a real to-do. People get all dressed up and go sit at these fancy tables. They swirl their wine around in the glass, smell it, and then take little sips. Me? I just drink it, but that’s just me. They say it’s all about the “sensory experience”. That’s just a fancy way of saying you use all your senses – sight, smell, taste – to enjoy your food and wine, I reckon.
How to find out more
Like I said before, the best thing to do is check their website or call them up. Don’t just listen to me, I’m just an old woman trying to make sense of all this fancy talk. But if you’re looking for a special night out, and you like wine and good food, then these Carrabba’s wine dinners might just be the ticket. Just remember to check them dates, and don’t drink too much, ya hear?
And if you do go, come back and tell me all about it. I’m always up for a good story, even if it’s about fancy wine and food I can’t even pronounce.
One last thing, them dinners, they ain’t just every day. They got specific dates and times, so you gotta plan ahead. Don’t just show up any old time and expect a fancy wine dinner, alright? That’s all I got to say about that. You go on and have yourself a good time, and remember to drink responsibly, even if it is that fancy stuff.
Oh, and I almost forgot. Some folks are sayin’ you need to make a reservation. That means you gotta call ahead and tell ‘em you’re comin’. Don’t just show up like a lost cat, expecting a seat at the table. These things are popular, ya know. So, call ahead, make your reservation, and then you’re all set. Now go on, get outta here and have some fun!
