On Saturday, Vino 100 in Cave Creek is hosting a wine-tasting paired with foods that were served to guests during the last dinner served aboard the Titanic in 1912, including Oysters à la Russe (recipe below), a garden salad and Chocolate Painted Éclairs. Author of “Their Last Suppers,” Andrew Caldwell, known worldwide as “The History Chef,” has selected Vino 100 as one of only a handful to host a book-signing/tasting event along his nationwide encore tour. “Boarding passes,” which include the food and wine tastings, are available for $20.
