A special spotlight falls upon these Dayton-area wine and food events
Our wine goblet runneth over with so many wine and food events that it’s going to take two Uncorked entries to cover ‘em all. I’ve singled out the following events for inclusion in a story in Friday’s Dayton Daily News Go section, and another event came in too late for the newspaper but in time for this Uncorked posting: The DLM Springboro store will host a wine tasting with Rebecca Loewy, national sales manager for d’Arenberg Wines, that will feature a Six-Year Vertical (2000-2005) of D’Arenberg’s The Coppermine Road Cabernet Sauvignon from McLaren Vale, Australia, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. today, Thursday, Oct. 9. There was a rumor that this tasting would be repeated at some point at the DLM Washington Square store, but I have no details on that — perhaps some fine DLM person can share that information in a comment here on Uncorked.
In addition, you should know that Cena, the Brazilian Steakhouse on the Dayton Mall’s front porch, is launching a wine-appetizer pairing on Sunday afternoons starting Oct. 19. Watch our regular Friday tastings list later this month for details.
But that’s not all. Check out the great stuff headed our way, and check back tomorrow for the even more comprehensive list compiled each week by a Dayton-based wine listserv. But first, strap on your drool cup:

Shellfish weekend at DLM
Dorothy Lane Markets will hold its first Shellfish Festival from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 11 and Oct. 12, at each of its three stores in Oakwood, Washington Twp. and Springboro. At each store, two Sinclair Community College culinary arts students will compete for “best shellfish dish” using mussels, clams and oysters harvested from the Atlantic Ocean off of New England. Recipes will be available, and the winning students will receive a DLM gift card.
