Wine, Cheese & Chocolate

Imagine hanging out in your dream kitchen with fine wines, yummy cheeses, great chocolates, and charming friends. Now imagine that among those friends are some of the region’s top female foodies: chefs, restaurant owners, wine gurus, and writers. And now imagine that the tariff for indulging in all of the above goes straight to local programs linking farms to plates. If that sounds like a better-than-average way to kill a Thursday night, check out this evening’s fête at Parma’s extremely laid-out Trevarrow Kitchen Showroom. Featuring all Ohio-made products, the tasting goes from 6 to 9 p.m. and is sponsored by the Cleveland chapter of Les Dames d’Escoffier, an international, invitation-only organization for women of achievement in the culinary field. Tix are $30 in advance via the website, where you’ll find the full skinny. Admission at the door is $40. 21 and over, please. 12610 Corporate Dr., Parma, Cleveland.ldei.org/events.
