The 2004 Saratoga 4x4 is set to begin!

The four chefs of the third annual Saratoga 4x4 have agreed on more details
of this year’s special event. The 4x4, which was founded in 2002, is a
series of four special four-course dinners held at four of Saratoga’s best
restaurants in January, February, March and April. The goal is to bring a
little fun and glamour to the dark, cold months of winter and showcase local
produce and culinary talents. Tickets are $75 per person including four
wines (one with each course), tax and tip.

The first event will be at The Wine Bar on Broadway in Saratoga on Monday,
January 26. Chefs from four different restaurants will gather on Wine Bar
Chef Mark Graham’s turf to prepare a four-course meal with four wines.
Chef Larry Shepici of Sargo’s at the Saratoga National Golf Club will
prepare the first course, Chez Sophie Bistro’s Paul Parker will prepare the
second course and Springwater Bistro’s David Britton will make dessert.

Reservations will be taken for two seatings at the Wine Bar, at 5:30 p.m.
and 8:30 p.m. To reserve a seat at the first event, call The Wine Bar at
518-584-8777.

The second event, hosted at The Springwater Bistro by Chef/Co-owner David
Britton, will be February 26, with staggered seatings starting at 5:30 p.m. and continuing throughout the evening. The appetizer will be made by the Wine Bar, the second course by Sargo’s,
the entrée by Springwater and the dessert by Chez Sophie. To reserve seats
at that event, call the Springwater at 584-6440.

The 4x4 event at Chez Sophie Bistro will be Tuesday, March 23, with a single
seating at 7 p.m. Cole Broderick will play jazz piano at Chez Sophie that
night. Springwater’s Britton will make the first course, Wine Bar’s Graham
the second, Chez Sophie’s Parker the entrée and Sargo’s Shepici the dessert.

The last event in the series will be hosted by Chef Larry Shepici at Sargo’s
