If you thought getting a reservation at Bibou (1009 S. Eighth St.) was a difficult task, try snagging a seat at one of the bistro's ultra-elite wine dinners. Once every few weeks, Pierre and Charlotte Calmels host an evening showcasing wines from different vendors paired with heaven-sent food. Haven't heard about these dinners? You aren't alone, as they aren't widely advertised events.

FOH extraordinaire Charlotte says invitations are sent to those on her mailing list, or offered directly to dinner clientele. "We have so many repeat guests who know Pierre's great food that our wine dinners fill up within two hours," she explains, "and they don't even know what's on the menu." Wanna get in on it? Visit Open Table to book a reservation (your registered e-mail is sent to Bibou), e-mail biboubyob@comcast.net or inquire about it next time you are in for dinner. One more table-landing tip: follow @biboubyob on Twitter for updates on available seating and cancellations.
