Bambara Kitchen &amp; Bar’s&nbsp;2026 monthly Sip and Savor Wine Dinner&nbsp;series continues as we welcome&nbsp;Cousiño Macul Winery and special&nbsp;guest,&nbsp;Carlos Cousino.
Join us on Wednesday, April 29th starting at 6:30pm for an unforgettable evening of world-class wines and culinary artistry as we toast these superb Chilean wines with Carlos Cousino.
Founded in 1856, Cousiño Macul is the only winery in Chile established during the 19th century that still belongs entirely to the founding family. A passion for wine still unites the family after more than 150 years and seven generations.&nbsp;
Cousiño Macul's wines are all estate-grown in the Alto Maipo, named for its high-altitude vineyards at the foot of the Andes Mountains. Melting snow in the spring and summer provides pure, fresh water to the vineyards. The shallow, sandy-silky topsoil with rough stone below is well-suited to the vines, which are all ungrafted and preserved via massal selections in the winery's nurseries. This selection has allowed for the preservation of genetic material originally brought to Chile by Luis Cousiño in 1860, including Cabernet and Merlot varieties from Pauillac in Haut-Medoc and Sauvignon Gris from Martillac in Graves.
Our four-course menu, courtesy of Bambara’s Executive Chef, Adam Resnick, and wine pairings for the evening include:
First:
Potato Latke: Salmon roe, crème fresh, red cabbage, dill&nbsp;
Cousiño Macul, Sauvignon Gris Valle del Maipo, 2024
Second:
Ricotta Dumplings: Brown butter, spring peas, pancetta, pecorino&nbsp;
Cousiño Macul, Antiguas Reservas Chardonnay Valle del Maipo, 2022
Third:
Filet mignon: duck fat fingerling potatoes, asparagus, fava beans, red wine jus&nbsp;
Cousiño Macul&nbsp;Finnis Terrae Cabernet Blend, 2019
Fourth:
Tres Leches Cake: coconut milk, mango, candied cashew&nbsp;
Cousiño Macul&nbsp;Lota Cabernet Blend, 2020
Seating is limited to ensure an intimate evening with your fellow guests and our extraordinary host, Carlos Cousino.
Tickets are $100.00 per person (including taxes &amp; gratuity; Eventbrite fees are extra) and can be purchased here:
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sip-savor-wine-dinner-series-featuring-cousino-macul-wines-tickets-1985588098453?aff=oddtdtcreator" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sip-savor-wine-dinner-series-featuring-cousino-macul-wines-tickets-1985588098453?aff=oddtdtcreator</a>

Arlington Friends of the Drama

Please join us in May for a beautiful new adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's classic "Little Women"&nbsp; -- the first time it has been produced in Massachusetts.Tickets:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.afdtheatre.org/up-next" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.afdtheatre.org/up-next</a>&nbsp;
One reviewer noted of Lauren Gunderson's version:&nbsp;
"One of the best versions I’ve seen. These are not porcelain figures with easily smoothed-over eccentricities, but real human girls who struggle and quarrel, sometimes viciously, yet have intense loyalty to each other. It also shows how fun they are. One of the joys of reading the book is that you want to be part of the March family, with their homemade theatricals and newspapers. The hijinks and squabbles at the start make the sorrows at the end more poignant."
May 1-17, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm; Sundays at 2pm.
