Scotch Dinner at Matherne’s

If you want to treat yourself to something different than a wine dinner this holiday season, Matherne’s is offering a wee nip of something special—a Scotch-tasting dinner with whiskey expert Jim McCartney. Each of the five courses is paired with a tasty single-malt scotch, picked to compliment the tastes of dishes like lamb with rice pilaf and smoked salmon. Friday, 7 p.m. $50 per person. Call 767-0074 for reservations.
