A Robert Mondavi wine dinner comes in at the high end, while on the opposite side is the much anticipated dunking booth at the Taste of Greenville Avenue. Choose your poison.

The week's top picks:

Thursday

Grand Opening of Norma's Cafe on Trinity Mills

Who isn't happy to see a new restaurant open, but especially one with pies as good as Norma's. In fact, there'll be a pie-eating contest you can watch at 6 p.m.

Revana Family Vineyards Wine Dinner

Houston cardiologist Dr. Madaiah Revana, owner of Revana Family Vineyards, has gained status with his Cabernet Sauvignon as among the best in Napa.

Friday

Bargain Wines

Bless Calais Winery in Deep Ellum, for who doesn't like finding out about good wines that are reasonably priced? Nobody, that's who.

Tribute to Robert Mondavi Wine Dinner

For its last wine dinner of the year (sniff!), Pappas Bros. Steakhouse celebrates the life and work of the late, great Robert Mondavi with a four-course dinner orchestrated by executive chefs James Johnson and Michael Gaspard, and master sommelier Barbara Werley. The wine dinner of all wine dinners.

Saturday

Taste of Greenville Avenue

Nevermind the tastes from Blue Fish, Daddy Jack's, Dodie's, Nandina's, Ozona -- even Parkit Market is participating -- but no, nevermind all those. The piece de resistance at this all-day affair will be the opportunity to dunk the inimitable Barking Dog.

Tuesday

KRLD Dinner Club

Newton Vineyard wine ambassador and spokesperson Ellen Flora will attend this four-course meal at Craft Dallas, part of the dinner club series hosted by news radio station KRLD.
