April 30: French grapes, grown in Italy, at Mémé

If you're a Euro oenophile, clear your sked one week from today: David Katz of Mémé (2201 Spruce St.) has invited Federico Dall'Olmo, an importer for The Artisan's Cellar, in for a four-course dinner built around recognizable French varietals grown in Italian soil. Dall'Olmo, a native of Bologna, is passionate about Gallic grapes as interpreted by Italiano winemakers. He'll pour and discuss a Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah and Pinot Noir (specific labels TBD) to go along with a hearty, all-savory menu from Katz — grilled lamb chops with kale; quail with polenta; pasta with guanciale and corn; and scallop crudo with citrus and pistachio. The dinner, which has one seating at 6:30 p.m., is $60 a head. Call 215-735-4900 to reserve.
