DALLAS (Oct. 14, 2014) – Chef John Tesar’s modern steakhouse, Knife, (5300 E. Mockingbird Lane) will fuse with the flavors of the past during an exclusive wine pairing dinner featuring Poderi Aldo Conterno wines on Oct. 27 at 6:30 p.m. Chef Tesar and special guest Winemaker Franco Conterno will take guests through five courses such as beef cheek ravioli and skate piccata paired with six wines from the Poderi Aldo Conterno Collection.

The event is $225 per person plus tax and gratuity. Space is limited and reservations are required by calling 214.443.9339.
“Knife isn’t just about the food, it’s about the entire dining experience,” Chef Tesar said. “I plan to bring more of these exclusive events to Knife, not only pairing wine, but also beer and other spirits so there’s something for everyone.”
Knife is located adjacent to The Highland Dallas on 5300 E. Mockingbird Lane and is open daily for breakfast 6:30-11 a.m., lunch 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m. and dinner 5-11 p.m. Reservations are recommended by calling 214.443.9339.
