Summers Night

Wine and dine Napa-style at Nana

By Merritt Martin

Published on June 26, 2008

A vacation to Napa? Right. A winery tour just isn't in the budget. Or is it? Thanks to Nana and Napa's Summers Estate Wines, I could throw down a mere $150 (OK, maybe it's not mere, but it's a helluva lot cheaper than even flying coach and a fleabag motel) for a dinner with Summers' own winemaker Jim Summers in attendance for a little pairing action. Nana's Chef Anthony Bombaci's five-course dinner keeps you from getting to sloshed on the Charbono. The Summers Wine Dinner takes place at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Nana, 2201 Stemmons Freeway, 27th Floor. Call 214-761-7470 for reservations.
