Wine tasting at Barrington church
"Corks & Forks - The Best American Wines You've Never Tasted" will showcase small-vintage, award-winning American wines from lesser-known wine regions from 7-10 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 25 at St. Mark's Church, 337 Ridge Road in Barrington Hills.
Ten of the top American wines will be featured for tasting with a dish from celebrity chef David Carrier.
Formerly of The French Laundry, Trio, and Avenue Sea, Carrier's return to Chicago with the opening of Kith and Kin has been one of the most chronicled culinary occurrences of the past year.
The restaurant has been heralded as the "Best New Neighborhood Restaurant" of 2010 while critics have raved about the food.
The event will feature a silent auction. All proceeds support St. Mark's mission and outreach programs within the local community and globally. Admission is $65 in advance or $75 at the door.
