Feb. 23: "Local Brews and Local Foods - Beer Dinner at the Windsor" in New Albany.

The Windsor, which occupies the space formerly housing the late, lamented Bistro New Albany, has been quietly collecting kudos. The crew at the Windsor is doing great work, with a couple of savvy young chefs, including Justin McMillen, who made the news recently when he topped other, more experienced and renowned area chefs in the "shrimp 'n' grits throwdown" sponsored by Louisville Hot Bytes.

Of course, Isaac Fox (NA's consummate restaurant survivor?) is manning the bar and building a unique classic/contemporary cocktail program with top shelf liquors. There are also ten quality draft handles. Here's a preview of the Windsor's inaugural beer dinner, courtesy of Tisha "World Class Beverages" Dean. The senior editor will be serving as emcee. Click on the image above for details about the courses and beer pairings.
