With spring rolling in, it seems that Memphis beer events are finally picking up once again after a very dry winter. And to kick off the season, the fourth installment of the Beer vs. Wine dinner series is coming up. For those who have not yet attended one of these events, the premiss is fairly simple: five courses are served paired with a different wine and beer for each dish, and attendees vote at the end of each course on which beverage better complimented their food. Votes are tallied at the end of the night, and so far, beer has walked away each time victorious. To keep things fair, Southwestern Beverage is sending along their wine and beer gurus, Bill Huddleston and Michael Barzizza. They not only arranged the beverage menu, but will also be present at the event to guide diners through the complexities of each pairing. The dinner will be held on April 10th at Amerigo, beginning at 6:30 p.m. Price is $60.00 a person, plus tax and gratuity. Call 761-4000 for reservations.
