On Wednesday, September 30th, Meritage Restaurant + Wine Bar hosts Pablo Piccola of Argentine winery Bodega Catena Zapata for a four-course wine dinner.  Starting at 7:00pm, Piccola and Wine Director Nick Daddona will walk guests through the pairings of chef Daniel Bruce’s food with five of Catena Zapata’s wines (which, according to Piccola, “No good cellar is complete without”).  Tickets are available here for $195.
