Get Drunk Tastefully at Mon Ami Gabi's Special Wine Dinner Next Week

Where: 3655 Las Vegas Blvd S [map], 89109

So, maybe the recession has put a damper on your summer plans to visit Paris. Instead, live like a bon vivant, if only for one night, at Mon Ami Gabi, located inside Paris Las Vegas.

The classic French bistro is hosting a special wine dinner on Thursday, July 30th, featuring a five-course dinner created by Executive Chef Terry Lynch paired with the classic wines of California�s Rodney Strong Vineyards. Truth be told, California wines wouldn�t be our first pick to pair with French cuisine (we opt for France over California any day when it comes to grapes), but can�t deny for a sec that Rodney Strong Vineyards makes some mighty fine wine.

toasted croutons
2008 Rodney Strong Charlotte�s Home Sauvignon Blanc
