Eos will feature a Women and Wine tasting Oct. 25th, 3 to 5 pm to honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Wines featured will be those which give to charities, including Breast Cancer and Hospice. A silent auction will feature items such as a wine basket, wine dinner, items from Madame Chrysanthemums, and others. The women only event will not only provide “charitable” wines to sample, plus light bites, but will be a great chance for camaraderie and networking. Proceeds from the auction will also benefit Liblines. Tickets are $30, of which $10 will go directly to Liblines. For reservations: 238-2400.

A Carry Out Cafe with Pizzaz!
For those of us who often don’t want to cook, but still want to dine at home, now there is THRIVE! Opened not long ago by Wendy Armstrong and Sarah Dudys, and specializing in sustainable, organic, gourmet dishes, Thrive has delicious sounding dishes for each of six days a week (Mon. through Sat.), plus daily specials. We sampled the Five-Cheese Portobello Mushroom and a superb Vegetable Lasagna. Gave that Lasagna a try despite the fact that to me, the dish requires meat, not veggies! It was moist, luscious with beautifully cooked veggies and topped with a perfect bechamel! Looking forward to the Blanquette de Veau served every Saturday evening! Located on Whitmarsh Island. Call 898-2131. Bon appetit!

At the Greenfest Culinary Challenge in Trustees Garden, it was Matt vs. Matt, starring Matt Cohen, chef/owner of The New South Cafe, and Matt Roher, chef/owner of Cha Bella. The two Matts were not chosen for their matching names, but because organizers felt they owned the two greenest restaurants in Savannah.
