On Thursday, Sept. 16, the Bristol Bar and Grille at 614 w. Main St. will welcome Andreas Wickhoff of Loimer Winery for a wine dinner celebrating Austrian wine and cuisine. Featured wine varieties include several made from the Grüner Veltliner grape, which is iconic in the Austrian wine producing regions. Chef Ramon Forcelledo has designed a special menu to complement each wine, and Wickhoff will be available throughout the evening to discuss the deliciously dry varietals from his home country. The dinner begins at 6:30 p.m. and is $55 per person, all inclusive. For reservations, call 502-582-1995.
