I love a great hamburger and even more so - a great steak. Put a glass of well-rounded Cabernet or Shiraz in the mix and I'm a very happy lady. That's why I'm quite sad that I don't have the moolah to take St. Francis Winery & Vineyards and Kobrand up on this invite:

$50 of the ticket purchase price is tax deductible
Even with the deduction, $110 is too much to swallow for a meal that might turn out to be a moo-fest (bad pun intended), not too disimilar from the Urban Harvest event mentioned below.
If anyone does attend, do let me know. Hopefully, you'll be rhapsodizing about perfectly aged and brilliantly juicy prime rib and sirloins, and I'll feel a fool for not forking over the money. But at this point, I'm just too put off from my recent experiences at grandiose foodie events to commit that much cash.
