Beer versus Wine at Cook's Inc.

On the beer team: Avery White Rascal, Orval Trappist Ale, Westmalle Dubbel Bolk, and Celebrator Dubbel Bolk. On the wine team: Robert Oatley Rose de Sangiovese, Senor da Folla Verde Albarino, Taltarni Three Monks Cabernet Merlot, and Tosti Brachetto d'Acqui. Watch them duke it out over a menu that includes salad, grilled clams, beef tenderloin, and banana bread French toast. To sign up, call 561-429-8020. Cost is $45.
