Lanny Lancarte II.
Wine and food you should be planning to devour starts with Thursday night’s Oregon wines dinner at Lanny’s Alta Cocina Mexicana. Lanny Lancarte II will whip up a five-course thriller to pair with lovely pours from Alex Sokol Blosser, a vineyard in the spectacular Willamette Valley. Among dishes will be seared yellowtail with Granny Smith apples and Serrano chiles, paired with a sparkling Evolution; butter-poached lobster with sweet corn and Mexican vanilla, to go with a 2008 pinot gris; and prime tenderloin and foie gras with chipotle brown butter gnocchi, matched with a Dundee Hills 2006 pinot noir. You don’t want to miss this one. It promises to be worth the $95 price tag.
On Wednesday, Nov. 4, the Wildcatter Ranch Steakhouse in Graham is hosting a Fall Wine Dinner. Chef “Bob the Cook” Bratcher, inspired by a recent trip to Napa, will prepare diver scallops with applewood-smoked bacon and artisan cheeses for an appetizer, paired with Geyser Peak sauvignon blanc; crawfish-crab bisque, paired with Firestone Vineyard chardonnay; honey and soy-glazed lamb chop, paired with Paraiso pinot noir; beef tenderloin with apple-brie potatoes and wild mushroom cream sauce, paired with Verasion Synchony; and cappuccino crème brulee for dessert. Dana Shrick from Weatherford will present the California wines. It starts at 7 p.m. and costs $100, all-inclusive. Plan to stay over in one of the ranch lodgings.
