Ruth's Chris Steak House will celebrate the Pinot Noir grape at its upcoming Ruth's TasteMaker Dinner on April 5. The second in a series of six exclusive dining experiences hosted at select locations nationwide, this dinner will highlight selections from acclaimed winemaker Joe Wagner, including the award-winning Belle Glos. Wagner learned the ropes from his father Chuck, co-founder of Caymus Vineyards, and those lessons translated into his bold approach in making Pinot Noir. As the founder of Belle Glos, Meiomi, Elouan and Ben, his winemaking style is credited with redefining coastal California Pinot Noir and helping increase its popularity.

In a post #metoo era, Season 31 at Annex Theatre begins 2018 with Safe Space , a generative performance about brave middle schoolers who greet their problems with a smile and a meme.
