A couple things to chew on...

For your food-lovin' edification...

On Monday, Feb. 25th. Mesh will be hosting Mac McDonald, winemaker at and owner of Vision Cellars. Mac is one of eight African-American winery owners in California, and his wines are downright phenomenal. He specializes in Pinot Noir, and we will be pouring his Marin County, Sonoma County, and Gary's Vineyard Pinots along with his Santa Lucia Highlands Riesling. Chef Paul Sturkey will be preparing appetizers for the event, so all the foodies out these should be more than pleased with all the great food and wine to be had. It will be held in the Mesh lounge from 5-7, the cost is $25 per person, and all wine will be sold at the event.
If you'd like to learn more about Vision Cellars, go to www.visioncellars.com. Plenty of info can be found on the site, including pictures of Mac which should clue you in to how much charisma this guy has to spare. We're very pleased to have a winemaker of this caliber coming into town. - Adam Shobert, Cincinnati representative for Wineworks Ohio.

Morton’s The Steakhouse is celebrating Leap Year and those born on February 29, referred to as “leaplings,” by offering a free steak and seafood dinner to people with this special birthday on Leap Day, Friday, February 29, 2008. The restaurant is offering the dinner to the first five “leaplings” who make advance reservations to dine in the restaurant on their birthday.

The birthday dinner consists of a single-cut filet; choice of Morton’s jumbo lump crab cake, shrimp Alexander or broiled sea scallops; choice of Caesar salad or Morton’s salad with blue cheese dressing, chopped egg and anchovies; choice of Morton’s Legendary Hot Chocolate (Birthday) Cake or key lime pie; and a complimentary glass of champagne for “leaplings” at least five and one-quarter years old (otherwise known as 21 and older). Complimentary valet parking will also be also provided for the birthday celebrants.

Morton’s is asking that all “leaplings” show proof of date of birth (valid I.D.), as well as make advance reservations. The number of free birthday dinners is limited to the first five celebrants. To make reservations, “leaplings” may call 513-621-3111 and specify “Leap Year Birthday.”
Tim Kieliszewski, Morton’s general manager, said, “With Leap Year only coming once every four years, we wanted to do something special to highlight those with this unique birthday who can’t celebrate on their actual birthday each year. What could be a better birthday present than a free dinner at Morton’s?”


Morton's The Steakhouse is located at 441 Vine Street in Carew Tower at Fountain Square, is open daily for dinner from 5:30 p.m. until 11 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 5 p.m. until 10 p.m. on Sundays. Bar 12●21 is open daily at 5 p.m. For reservations, guests should call (513) 621-3111. Guests are also invited to visit www.mortons.com to make on-line reservations or view the full Morton’s menu.
