dbar’s wine dinners continue this month, on Wednesday, October 7th to be precise, with a meal highlighting the wines of France’s Rhone Valley. Chef Chris Coombs has designed a four-course menu that features littleneck clams, grilled pork belly and marinated lamb top to pair with the evening’s chosen vintages—a white and two reds. The night, which starts at 7:00pm, costs $65 per person for both food and drink. Call 617.265.4490 for reservations and a mini mid-week jaunt to France.
