The class schedule for May
Tuesday, May 6
The first of a month-long series of international menus
Tonight's class begins with Chef Claus showing you how to prepare shrimp scampi as an appetizer. The entree is a classic Chicken Cordon Bleu, and dessert is a tasty fruit cobbler. Wines will be poure3d with each course, because Chef Claus won't have it any other way. From 7 to 9 p.m. in the Wine Bar at $37 per person.
Tuesday, May 13
If you enjoy consuming game birds, and would like to learn how to prepare them, come to this class
The appetizer is a spicy watermelon salad. The endtree is a combination of both quail and pheasant, so you'll get recipes and advice on how to prepare them at home., Dessert is a variety of artisan cheeses. Wines with each course, of course. From 7 to 9 p.m. in the Wine Bar at $39 per person.
Tuesday, May 20
Can chicken fried steak be considered gourmet food? When you cook it
like Chef Claus does, you bet it can!
The class will open with an appetizer of stuffed mushrooms. Then Chef Claus will show you how to cook a chicken fried steak with a creamy mushroom sauce (instead of some gummy country gravy). Dessert is Gareau Riche, a petite chocolate cake with a warm white chocolate center. Wines will be paired with everything. From 7 to 9 p.m. in the WIne Bar at $32 per person.
Tuesday, May 27
Come and collect three great recipes you'll want to add to your own
repertoire so you can do them at home
The appetizer is a piquant gazpacho with goat cheese. The entree is coq-au-vent, or coq au vin in a pastry shell. Dessert is Wienerbrodt, which is not "Bread from Vienna" but a wonderful almond pastry. Wines will be whatever go well with each course. From 7 to 9 p.m. in the Wine Bar at $35 per person.

You can do this every Friday during the month of May. It's our way to celebrate "Someday Day." That's the day people refer to when they promise, "I'll do that some day." So if you've ever promised yourself that "some day I'm going to drink some great wine with an excellent dinner," now is the time.
This is a great chance to order that very special wine you love but seldom can afford, or to select a great wine you've heard about and always wanted to try.
So go ahead, indulge yourself. Enjoy reading our wine list, which for eight years in a row has won the Wine Spectator magazine Award of Excellence. Choose one (or more) of our very best, and go for the gusto!
