Dining Around January 30

Dining Around makes plans for February festivities (and beyond)!

First, there’s the upcoming opening of gallery 12 Gallagher Lane, with wines by master sommelier Emmanual Kemiji’s Miura Project and food by Gary Danko and Dean & Deluca.

The Red Cross has a full calendar of fundraising events coming up in connection with its Paint the Town Red gala March 6. Don’t miss the launch party on Wednesday, February 3.

Mark your calendars: Kevin Westlye, executive director of the Golden Gate Restaurant Association, previews the Second Annual San Francisco Chefs Food and Wine, coming up August 13-15 in Union Square.

Maja Gartmann of Tourism Switzerland (the native land of Margrit Mondavi!) gives us the scoop on tourism opportunities this year, not to mention Swiss International, which will begin flying out of SFO in June.

Kevin and Barbara Brown of R&B Cellars in Alameda are offering free shipping in February plus 15 percent off for KGO listeners. They're here to tell Gene the details.

Also from the lovely island of Alameda, Peter Kahl of Speisekammer and John Theil of Pappo Restaurant stop by to discuss some of the local dining options.

Definitely not the same old Valentine event: Jenna Scott and Aphrodite Caserta of Safari West Resort on the "Spicy Dinner and Frisky Beasts" tour.

Finally, Rene Schlatter and Sean Foster of Merryvale Vineyards preview the winery's "Love Fest" wine dinner, featuring Cindy Pawlcyn, on Saturday, February 13.
