A di-vine time
Want to get away for Valentine’s weekend? Take your tastebuds on a tour of Spain on Feb. 15 at Cleonice Mediterranean Bistro’s Spanish wine dinner. The Ellsworth eatery will serve a five-course meal along with six wines presented by importer Tony Couture. Among the highlights will be Leg of Lamb Stuffed with Almonds and Olives, paired with Emilio Moro Ribiera del Duero 2000, rated in Wine Spectator’s Top 100. The dinner starts at 6 p.m. with a selection of tapas, and at $50 a person, costs much less than a plane ticket. For reservations, call 664-7554.
