Times Ten Cellars is just completing an upgrade to add a kitchen to its mix. The wine room has long offered cheese boards, salads, dips and other bites that can be prepared without a full kitchen, in addition to hosting rotating food trucks. The upgraded kitchen will allow for an expanded menu, while also opening the door for specialty wine dinners. The first such dinner is set for Tuesday, Feb. 21, at 6:30 p.m. when chef Joey Crowell prepares a five-course meal, each expertly paired with an accompanying wine. It is limited to 40 people, and tickets are $85 by contacting winery@timestencellars.com. Don’t worry, for those who love the Wednesday pizza nights with Urban Crust, or Sunday afternoon jazz, both those traditions will continue — now with more food options.
