“Gastrological Dinners,” The Boulders Resort’s quarterly alternative to traditional winemaker dinners, have proven so popular that they’re being offered more frequently.

The 2008 series kicks off Jan. 24 in the Carefree resort’s new Organic Garden. The dinner, which will feature wines from Oregon’s King Estates, starts with cocktails at 6:30 p.m.

The menu: assorted hors d’oeuvres; roasted cauliflower soup with maple-smoked bacon and lobster; galantine of pheasant with truffle and cognac; granite of Granny Smith apple and chocolate mint; spiced seared elk loin, sweet potatoes, braised mushrooms and succotask; cheese tasting plate; flourless chocolate espresso cake and quenelle of kahlua panna cotta; and mignardises.

Cost is $150 person and reservations are required. The evening will include spiritual readings by astrologer Tom McMullan.

Other scheduled dinners are Feb. 28 (Long Meadow Ranch Vineyards), March 20 (Stage Coach Vineyards) and June 21 (Frog’s Leap).

Info: (480) 488-9009.
