Lelaine Lau, cofounder of the cultural salon 403, is upping the ante for her latest gathering, “The Feiring Line,” on Monday night, January 10. The avid tequila drinker will be joined by wine expert and journalist Alice Feiring, author of the controversial THE BATTLE FOR LOVE AND WINE OR HOW I SAVED THE WORLD FROM PARKERIZATION and the upcoming NAKED WINE. A Long Island native and James Beard Award winner, Feiring, who initially studied dance therapy before turning to the grape, will lead attendees in a discussion and tasting focusing on natural wines. “I’m hunting the Leon Trotskys, the Philip Roths, the Chaucers, and the Edith Whartons of the wine world,” Feiring writes on her website. “I want them natural and most of all, I want them to speak the truth even if we argue. With this messiah thing going on, I’m trying to swell the ranks of those who crave the differences in each vintage, abhor homogenization, and desire wines that make them think, laugh, and feel.” The event will also feature a light dinner catered by Miami-bred chef Josie Smith-Malave, a veteran of season two of TOP CHEF and partner in the Brooklyn restaurant the Speakeasy. [Late change: Due to unforeseen circumstances, Camille Becerra, a New York City-based veteran of TOP CHEF, will be handling the culinary duties in place of Smith-Malave.] The exact downtown location will be given out when you RSVP to what should be a lively, unique culinary evening.
