August Wine Dinner

Thursday August 21st

Aura's Third Thursday Wine Dinner returns once again! 

This month we are featuring South American cuisine.  Whether it is savory empanadas, delicious lamb stew, or an Argentinian  obsession with quality beef typically reserved to Midwest farmers, we have compiled some of our favorite South American dishes and paired them with regional wines specifically designed to compliment them. Our 5 course menu this month takes a trip around an amazing culinary continent and we are excited for you to come share this special meal with us.
