Two new Wild Turkey products will be featured at a Wild Turkey Bourbon Dinner on Thursday, Nov. 7, at Varanese, with a reception at 6:30 p/m/ and dinner at 7 p.m. Speaker Dan Lally will guide attendees through the dinner and introduce two new Wild Turkey Flavors: Wild Turkey Spiced, a flavored bourbon intended to compete with spiced rum, and Wild Turkey Forgiven, a bourbon and rye whiskey mix that the company says was created by mistake.
The four course dinner will feature a flight of four bourbons plus three specialty cocktails designed by Varanese's bartender, Rory McCollister. The cost is $55 per person, plus tax and tip. Reservations are required, and can be made by calling 899-9904 or emailing letsdine@varanese.com.
