It’s a rare wine dinner that costs under two grand, so we had to tell you about one at new Italian restaurant Capri on Nov 9 at 7pm. Based in Marlborough, New Zealand, Babich Wineries will present four wines, paired with a set menu prepared by Capri, all for B1,200. And if even that’s too much cash, don’t miss the final two days of the Penfold’s Wine Lounge at Emporium (Sukhumvit Soi 24, 02-269-1000. BTS Phrom Phong). Until Nov 7, you can sample their range of Australian wine at reduced prices and take a handy half-hour workshop on basic wine tasting (11am and 5pm), food pairing (12pm and 6pm) and a special Penfold’s tasting (1pm and 7pm) each day. Classes are free but space is limited. Sign up by calling Khun Thanravee at 084-151-9221 or at www.penfoldswineevents.com.
