    What a fantastic experience. The November 2025 Cask & Barrel event was a night to remember. The food was fantastic, the drinks amazing, and such a great experience. Andrew and team created a date night to remember. Two thumbs way up.

    Andrew pop on one hell of a Cask & Barrel Bourbon Dinner. For $70 per prrson, the food was outstanding and the drinks were even better. Definitely will be to everyone from now on

    We attended the Antinori Wine Dinner at Carrabba’s and were honestly blown away. I’ve never been to a Carrabba’s and generally avoid chain restaurants, but this was excellent from start to finish: generous portions and great pairings, and a surprisingly reasonably priced. We even left with to-go boxes. Our server, Destin, was attentive and professional, and Andrew, the sommelier, was fun with just the right amount of education. The meal began with a Fall Salad with Fig Vinaigrette, with by pistachios and perfectly grilled shrimp, paired with a crisp Antinori Toscana Bianco that balanced the sweetness of the dressing. Next was Penne Franco with Chicken, garlicky and flavorful, with sun-dried tomatoes and olives, served with the Santa Cristina Cabernet Sauvignon. The star of the night was the Grilled Sirloin topped with a Jumbo Raviolo in browned butter: rich, tender, and served with Stag’s Leap Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon. Dessert was a Caramel Apple Crumble with ice cream and salted caramel, paired with a the Tormaresca Chardonnay. Exceptional food and generous pours. This was a five-star event. Recommend.

    This experience is so fun! The courses served are not on the regular dining menu and are exceptional! A lot of creativity goes into this dinner. Destin makes dinner so fun and personally curated with likes and dislikes in mind. The presentations by Andrew are hilarious and informative. The wine pours are generous! This is a can’t miss event! It gets busy so book in advance on their website.
