Saratoga Springs food and wine lovers, get ready! Corks & Cuisine, the annual wine and food tasting event hosted by DZ Restaurants, is back this fall at Forno Bistro. Join us on Sunday, October 19, 2025, from 1:00–3:00 PM for an unforgettable afternoon of wine, spirits, craft beer, food, and community support.
Sip, Sample & Savor
Guests will enjoy:
- A curated selection of wines, spirits, and craft beers
- Delicious small bites prepared by Forno Bistro, Chianti il Ristorante, and Boca Bistro
- A silent charity auction to benefit the Richard Bambara Memorial Fund
- The first pour of our latest Helping HanDZ beer, “Richar’DZ Brew”
It’s the perfect pairing of flavor and fun, set against the rustic charm of Forno Bistro in downtown Saratoga Springs.
A Special First Pour
Guests at this year’s event will be the first to taste Richar’DZ Brew, our newest Helping HanDZ beer created with Wolf Hollow Brewing Co. and Brewmaster Richard Peters.
This refreshing West Coast IPA balances bright hop character with crisp drinkability — and like all Helping HanDZ beers, it’s brewed for a purpose. From October through May, a portion of every pour will support The Richard Bambara Memorial Fund, which benefits Uro-Oncology resident education and research at Albany Medical Center.
Supporting a Legacy
Corks & Cuisine is more than a tasting event — it’s an opportunity to celebrate community while giving back. Each year, the event supports The Richard Bambara Memorial Fund, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to advancing Uro-Oncology resident education and research at Albany Medical Center.
As DZ Restaurants Vice President & COO Nancy Bambara shared:
“We’re honored by the support we’ve received over the years and look forward to coming together once again for a cause so close to our hearts.”
