Special Friendsgiving wine event

The Statler’s Passport to Wine Series allows attendees to experience some of the world’s most iconic winemaking regions via glass and plate. The series concludes in November with a special Friendsgiving Dinner on November 20. The organizers of this event say that, “Friendsgiving at The Statler is all about connecting with old friends and making new ones as you enjoy warm ambiance and engaging conversations.”  Diners will enjoy three festive dishes and wine pairings from American wineries selected by Joe Vicari Restaurant Group sommelier, Lisa Ribaudo. The Friendsgiving Dinner menu includes butternut squash bisque with Oishii shrimp; turkey blanquette, French white stew with truffle stuffed Berkshire loin, haricots verts gratin and cranberry reduction. The dinner concludes with a pumpkin bread pudding. Tickets are $99 per person, tax and gratuity not included. To learn more, visit statlerdetroit.com.
