Thousand Oaks, CA, July 19, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Headliner’s Comedy ClubSM@Fiamme!, the only dedicated comedy club in the Conejo Valley, together with Cantara Cellars presents “The Grapes of Laff.” The four-course wine dinner features pairings from Cantara Cellars hand-selected by vintner Mike Brown. Stand-up comic genius John DiCrosta will headline the evening. This unique event will be held July 29th with reservations beginning at 6:30 p.m., and show will begin at 8:00 p.m. Jamie Alcroft, known for his uproarious appearances on “The Tonight Show” with Johnny and Jay, will be the evening’s emcee.

“Wine and you’ll feel better. Laugh and you’ll feel terrific. Do both at the same time and just imagine your delight!” said Elizabeth Beddow, proprietor of Fiamme Restaurant & Bar and Headliners Comedy Club@Fiamme! “Fiamme is proud to join with Cantara Cellars to bring this unique blend of exceptional food, fine wines, and hilarious entertainment to the Headliners Comedy Club@Fiamme!”

The four-course dinner features the following menu items and paired wines:

First course: Grilled Shrimp, onion, red and green pepper on a bed of baby greens drizzled with a chili sauce with both sweet and heat, paired with Cantara Cellars 2007 Chardonnay; second course of Chicken Marsala served simply with mashed potatoes, paired with Cantara Cellars 2008 Old Vine Zinfandel; third course of Grilled Rack of Lamb topped with an apple cider vinaigrette sauce and served with an intriguing garnish of fried onion rings, paired with Cantara Cellars 2008 Syrah-Cabernet Sauvignon. The fourth course concludes with chocolate cake drizzled with a raspberry sauce and topped with a candied walnut, paired with Cantara Cellars 2008 Frankevine.

“This ensemble of seriously delicious, magnificently pared, was arduously contrived with many whines, and significant wine sampling,” said Chris Brown, owner of Cantara Cellars. “A presentation sure to delight your taste buds!”

John DiCrosta’s irreverent characters leave audiences laughing and wanting more. Dozens of voices, off beat impressions, topical humor, sight gags, and a few props are among this comedian’s strengths. His sharp wit and knack for engaging audiences has helped spread his name across North America. John recently voiced two of the pivotal characters in the smash movie, “Transformers, Revenge of the Fallen.” He has kept the crowds in hysterics and great spirits on such shows as “Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher,” “Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn,” “Americas Funniest Home Videos,” “American Idol,” and many situation comedies as well.
